The dam breaks. In a catastrophe reminiscent of the Johnstown Flood, this novel reveals the panic & devastation which inundates most of California. It might be termed Utopian. Many people are destroyed & the more rigorous survivors cluster at the Central Pacific Coast above Santa Barbara, close to Morro Bay. Our heroine, Sally, tries to pick up the pieces together with Charlie, a generally tough ex-seal & together, they take care of the neediest on that narrow strip of Neuva California. They are not to rest, however, as an invading force of strangers, not Russian, not Mongolian, arrive in large carriers & they destroy Los Angeles. Sally is in a quandary about which of two suitors she should choose; then, when she decides, she can't find him for a day & a half. Finally, the region gets restored in a way satisfying to all. $24.95 hardback, include $3.00 for shipping & tax. 3807 Noel Place, Bakersfield, California 93306. donnajl@juno.com.Litherland, Donna is the author of 'Great California Flood' with ISBN 9780960788859 and ISBN 0960788859.
