About the book:
All It Takes Is One Night
to Plunge the World into Darkness
Life in Abney, Texas, is predictable and safe—until the night a massive solar flare wipes out all modern technology.
Shelby Sparks, novelist and single mom, had one goal: to provide for her diabetic son. In the wake of this global disaster, her mission hasn't changed. Only now, medication is a priceless commodity and the future resembles an apocalyptic nightmare.
Max Berkman and Shelby were once sweethearts, but he lost his chance at claiming her love years ago. When the abrupt loss of power ushers him into a leadership role, he rises to the occasion. But his highest priority—to keep Shelby and her son safe—could prove to be the biggest challenge of all.
As the brilliant northern lights give way to deep shadows, Max and Shelby's faith will be tested like never before. Only one rule remains: Find a way to survive.

In this first book in an eerily plausible dystopian series, a memorable cast of characters must navigate a familiar world thrown into chaos.
My review:
I loved this book! It was fascinating to imagine what our world would be like without all of our modern conveniences. There were situations that happened I hadn't even thought of and a few that totally shocked me, which needless to say made for an exciting read! For instance, how do we take care of people in hospitals and nursing homes or what happens when life-saving prescriptions are no longer made or able to be transported? How about when food is no longer available in the grocery store? There was danger, excitement, action, romance, not a dull moment! The main characters were interesting, partly because Shelby and Max had been high school sweethearts years ago and there were still some lingering feelings, though Shelby fought against it. There was a hint of romance in the story. They were both pretty smart about what to do; Shelby was a writer who had researched solar flares before and Max, an attorney who was very logical and did what needed to be done. They were Christians who prayed and attended church, along with their two friends. Shelby's son, Carter, wasn't sure what he believed about God. It was interesting to get the different viewpoints of the three of them. Their pastor had a wonderful, encouraging message about the Lord being good and that His love will endure forever, no matter what happened or will happen. I loved how they supported each other and their community. I can't wait for the next book to see what happens with these wonderful characters and where the situation goes from here. I highly recommend it!
I received this book free from Harvest House Publishers.
