But all that Aurora holds dear is wrenched from her when an aggressive cancer takes Peter and, just months later, an electro-magnetic pulse attack plunges the United States into a prolonged blackout.

In prose that is spare and unflinching, Bowling tells a story of a lone woman who loses her family and risks everything to find her place in a world that has left so many behind."

"Shelter in Place is a unique novel set in the near post-apocalyptic future. It is one woman's struggle to survive, to seek justice, to protect those in need, and to reclaim her life and identity. Aurora is smart, courageous, relentless, and righteous. She's both a warrior and a nurturer, a victim and a winner."

 - Kristina Gorcheva-Newberry, author of The Orchard.
