For a book written 24 years ago, it is frightening how it seemed to predict a few things that actually came to pass. Thankfully, not every event portrayed took place but somehow I still feel like we are close to where the book finds us in 2019. After a series of natural disasters, tensions between white Americans and POC have intensified and a majority of the country is living in poverty. Into this a small band of people are called to help a woman they don't know. I liked the concept, though the writing is a bit amateur and I cringed when I read "he screamed like a woman." So while the story and writing could use a bit of polish, it is an interesting story and worth the read.
