This is four "sections" that equal a single book.  I read Section 1 several months ago and was frustrated and felt cheated when I realize it wasn't a book, but a few chapters of a book.  I even voiced my frustration in a review.  Now this came out.  This is a book worth buying.The storyline is good.  The characters are well developed and provide a good definition of family. (Even without the author's commentary at the end of each chapter.)  I was shocked at who was dying and who survived, but in the end, the collection of folks each proved their ability to soldier on despite devastating odds and pain.The author, though male, does realize the extent of pain and suffering a mother will go through for the love of her children.  Honor is still out there despite socio-economic situations.  First appearances can be deceptive and even in the apocalypse people to trust can appear at unexpected times.  I like the way the new "family" was gathered by the apocalypse.This is a good read and ends in a manner that makes the reader take a deep sigh of satisfaction.
