"We have shelter (the cabin), heat (wood-burning fireplace), water (well with a hand pump) and each other, so I know we're lucky. But food is important too, and lately we're always hungry. There's no more stuffing yourself on too many potato chips....man, do I miss potato chips....." Ellie Campbell and her family are back in this conclusion to the Apocalypse Mom Trilogy. They've survived the immediate days after The End of The World As We Know It, made the trip safely to Marvin's cabin in Carlton, Alabama, and now face new trials as they integrate into the community and adjust to a new way of life. Ellie struggles to maintain her strength and sense of humor as they face sickness, death, food shortages, and the harshness of everyday life, and in the end, emerge stronger than ever before.
