The Plague.  The Black Death.  The Great Mortality. The Pestilence.Call it what you want but any name you use gives you the same mental picture. Swollen lymph nodes, fever, coughing blood, pain though out the body, and extremities turning black with necrotized tissue. If that isn't scary enough, imagine The Black Death sweeping through modern day England, whole families being quarantined in their own homes and left with a modern day military watcher.If this mental picture isn't bad enough imagine watching your child and your husband suffer and there isn't a thing you can do but just watch. This is exactly what happens to Liz and she is forced to endure the most horrific disease to ever grace humanity.Lisa Hinsley captured the true essence of being a mother and the duties that come with it. But most important she captures the courage and strength of an extremely strong woman. This was an amazing story. Thank you, Lisa. You took a piece of horrifying history and dropped it in the here and now.
