Title: A Father's Love
Product review: Post-Apocalyptic fiction is not normally a genre that interests me, but this took hold from the first pages and wouldn't let go. An unnamed man journeys with his young son through a devastated landscape that must once have been the Southeastern United States. Most people have died in some unexplained catastrophe, but there is still danger from sparse groups of survivors living by cannibalism. Through ingenuity, luck, and sheer determination, the man shepherds his boy through the Appalachian Mountains to the coast, in the slim hope of meeting up with others who have not lost their humanity. What lifts and sustains the book is the same as what sustains the central pair: the deep love of the father for his son. It is impossible to see them together without being aware of a heart-stopping beauty -- a beauty that shines even through that ash-shrouded darkness.
