Two Close: a story of survival

Book II in the Jolt Survival Series

The sequel to Jolt: a rural noir, Two Close: a story of survival follows the paths of the Matters family, Mary, Lou, and their sons, Jason and Marty. Separated in Jolt by circumstances following terrorism and a nuclear meltdown, Mary, at home, recuperates from radiation sickness while, Lou, brain injured in a dirty bomb explosion, recovers from amnesia and right-side brain injury. Their sons, Jason and Marty, wishing to miss the effects of radiation fallout, have fled the scene and unable to make contact with their parents, survive alone in the woods and then in a sponsored shelter over the next year or so. Two Close is the story of the family's survival and how through happenstance and determination, despite their separate and somewhat forced paths, they survive.
