No Normal Day II: Unity

No Normal Day #2

by J. Richardson

It had been nearly a year, since the event. Sketchy communications indicated that it was probably an EMP. The certainty of what happened or who had caused it became irrelevant, they were on their own. Jack and Beth had managed to gather their family together, in a short time. However, the unexplained event had been the end of life as they knew it. It was only the beginning of the challenges they would face, in their struggle to survive in this new life.

About the author

J.Richardson was born in what she refers to as her beloved Texas. She has lived there all of her life and raised her family. Her children, grandchildren and one great-grandchild are scattered across the state. These days, she and her husband of 47 years, split their time between home and their summer cabin in Colorado.

Her first e-book was published this year. A life filled with rich experiences and small adventures has been the inspiration for her writing. Much of that experience derived from the partnership with her spouse in building four homes in four different locations, from scratch; from a log house in the woods of east Texas, to a lakehouse and a farmhouse, and finally, the cabin in Colorado. J. says that she is a fascinated observer of people and their endless diversity. She believes the internet is an amazing source of information and her favorite part of writing is the research.

A pen name claims ownership of her fiction writings because they are often close facsimiles of her friends and family. She admits, however, they are just as often, products of her imagination and characters she has known. The author's favorite reads are mystery and humor, lately her passion and interest is in the fictional and real life details of prepping for disaster. She quotes, "I have strong political and patriotic views, but try to avoid them in my novels because anger is not my forte'. I always look forward to hearing from my readers."

Family will survive

This tale of survival centers on how a family meets the challenges of every day living in a world without electricity or moderns conveniences. Texas is also a big part of the story as good men learn that unity,is the only way a peaceful life can be achieved. I know the story is a bit simple however,the truths expressed will leave you wondering what comes next.

I loved this book. Picked right up where the first one left off. It shows a family moving forward even in the worst circumstances.
