IMMERSE
YOURSELF IN THE POWERFUL 2020 DEBUT NOVEL FROM SANTANA SAUNDERS
“We
went too far. Father is mad. No one make a sound…”
Filled
with the suspense and lyrical writing that draws readers to The
Stand by
Stephen King, a witty humor in the tradition of Andy Weir, The
Martian,
and a fierce female lead for fans of The
Hunger Games by
Suzanne Collins.
In
a not-so-distant future, recurring acts of terrorism lead to the
abolishment of all religion. Believers taking a stand against the
ruling are placed in institutions. All existing Bibles, Quranands and
Vedas are destroyed—or so they thought.
Leora
Smith, a witty, thirty-year-old medical transcriptionist, lives a
quiet life due to a debilitating disorder and unwavering faith that
must be kept hidden. Her world is turned upside down when a celestial
being informs her of the forthcoming apocalypse and assigns her to
recruit experts imperative to the subsistence of the society that
will remain when the dust settles.
Each
recruit has a story that can only be seen behind closed doors.
Leora’s childhood friend and numerous enlightened allies band
together in an effort to persuade the best and brightest.
As
nature bends in accordance to the plan, Leora's preconceived notions
of everything good and evil are about to be tested.

Santana
Saunders grew up along the Missouri River in rural North Dakota,
where the sandbars were far-off lands and the canoes were pirate
ships.
Santana
went on to pursue a career in marketing, and creative writing went on
the back-burner. In 2019, she and her family found themselves
relocating to Florida. Sandbars and canoes quickly became beaches and
ocean. This change of scenery inspired her to return to
writing.
Today,
she is a Florida-based author of fantasy and thriller novels. When
she isn't reading or writing stories she is playing at the beach with
her husband and three daughters or attempting a DIY home project that
will surely take weeks longer than anticipated to accomplish.
This sounds like a really good read!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover. It sets the tone for the book.
