I was immediately drawn into Amy's story. An ordinary Saturday morning. Mom is working at her high-security government job and dad is at the farmer's market. Turning on the TV Amy finds the same program on every channel.....the president is informing the world of a massive alien invasion. People are warned to stay indoors. The creatures are savage and are killing everyone in sight.
Fast forward several months later. Amy has found "Baby", a child about 3 years old. Somehow she has been able to survive. They communicate through a learned sign language. Along with light, any sound draws the creatures in for the kill. Dad had a rooftop garden and solar power. Amy has been scavenging for supplies as best she can. It is a meager existence. If you like survival stories, this is it!
Miraculously, after over a year living in silence, Amy and Baby are rescued and taken to New Hope. New Hope is a former college campus that has been taken over by survivors. A new society has been formed and Amy finds that her scientist mother is now the director. Despite food, people, and apparent safety, all is not right with the world. Will Amy and Baby survive in New Hope? You will have to read the book to find out!
