This was a great little story, reminds me of Hugh Howey's world of Wool, whereas people must work together as one cohesive unit in order to survive in a forever changed world.The story is set in a world that has been destroyed by an Alien EMP that has set civilization back to the dark ages.  It is not really about the aliens but more about survival and rebuilding of society. Travis's novella follows a group of survivors on a farm in rural Oregon whereas each person has a job and place on the farm and all of the hard decisions are handled with a public meeting and a vote. Mom is the leader of the group and has set in place some mighty strict rules that all of the community must abide by. The people in return have shelter, food and protection which is really hard to come by in this altered world.There is very light mention on the LGBT but in no way does this story focus on it nor does it provide any sexual details. Instead it gives you great depth on the community as a whole and their experiences in this new world.This story does end quiet abruptly at a cliffhanger which leaves one to hope there will be more to this in a future series. I can see it going into much further depth and detail by providing a back story and continuing with where this one has left off. I for one am hoping that Travis is working hard right at this very moment putting pen to paper to give us more.  Thank you for sharing this little gem.Claretta Maynard (The Kindle Book Review)."The Kindle Book Review received a free copy of this book for an independent, fair, and honest review.
