Review: ~~To the Cave~~
Rating: 5 out of 5

Starting out for a weekend camping trip with her daughter, Roxy, Karen Black soon finds herself close to an eruption of Mt. Edziza.  This eruption caught everyone by surprise as the predictions called for one month away.  The cast of characters increases with the addition of Maria and her two children along with David, Karen's Doctor.  Also, the father of Roxy also appears and is quite the villain.The author gives a lot of background information on all of the characters which at first puzzled me.  However, as the story progresses, I found that all of it fits perfectly into the story.  I also like the manner in which everyone works as a team to shelter in the cave,  hunt for animals and wild edibles and set up a watch for protection.A lot of human psychology plays out between the characters.  Just imagine spending that much time together and not killing one another off! And, to me, Mr. Jarvis plays such an important and poignant role in the ending of the story.  "Healing and hope" abide for all of the survivors despite all of their previous troubles.Most highly recommended.
