About the book: 2014 / The world after the disaster is harsh and cruel. This is a world where power rules. How can you resist this force if you are completely alone - after all, even Leslie Breen’s faithful companions, a pack of semi-wild dogs, remained somewhere far away in Colorado. And the harshest teacher, life, throws up new questions for her. Where to draw the line between good and evil? Is progress necessary if its price is tears and slavery, and is it even progress? What to do if saving one person means betraying another? And the wrong answer to any of these questions could cost the lives of not only Leslie herself, but also those who are dear to her. She will have to make many difficult decisions, many difficult trials to endure before she finds her way home..
