Set in the 1950's, this novel explores the horror of survival after a nuclear devastation of the U.S.

Living in a small Floria town, the characters struggle to invent a new society after their old one is completely destroyed.

There are many fascinating insights into 1950's racial attitudes, morals, and the pervasive fear that was so much a part of the Cold War era.
