Description
If a girl cries of loneliness and there's no one alive to hear... can she still survive?
Readers who love post-apocalypse stories will appreciate the unique perspective author W.C. Furney brings to the genre. Ivy Moon - Last Girl on Earthis a Young Adult, post-apocalypse tale of a girl's survival and self-discovery. The story begins when a young teen who suffers a head injury emerges from a grounded sailboat at the end of a hurricane. The trauma of discovering she is amnesic is soon dwarfed by the realization that she is totally alone. Gradually, her expectation people will return to the community they evacuated is replaced with the startling truth that everyone is gone. Vanished from the face of the earth. Hindered by a selective memory that affords only brief glimpses of her past, Ivy and her new friend Tonka... a West Highland White Terrier... set off on a quest to find other survivors. She soon discovers that surviving a post-apocalyptic world isn't the adventure books and movies make it out to be.
"This is not the way it's supposed to be," I whisper. "In the books and movies, the survivor of an apocalypse becomes a hero... rises above all obstacles, finds other people, and begins to rebuild. No matter how horrible their existence has become, the people in those stories have reason to live. To survive. If nothing else, there are other people in these imagined worlds, either friends or foes or both. I have everything I need to survive, to live out the rest of my life in comfort. But what's the point of having a life if there's no one to share it with? I don't even have an adversary to torment me. Nothing. This is no apocalypse. This is hell on earth... and I am the true walking dead."
Ivy Moon -- Last Girl on Earth is the first of a two-part series.
