Gone

About the Book

What would you do if you found yourself living in the aftermath of the greatest holocaust imaginable? How would you feel, thinking only you and your companions survived, and how would you live in such an environment?

This is the story of a young man, his girlfriend, and a young female companion, who suddenly find themselves living in a world totally different from anything they could ever have imagined.

Why the impossible happened and why they survived that fateful Saturday night in mid-September is not as important as the relationships among these three survivors with each other and with others they encounter on their journey in search of a new life.

As the year ends, they have seen both the best and the worst of humanity but with faith in themselves and with the love and support of each other they look forward with renewed hope to the New Year and beyond.

Read about their experiences and feel their emotions in this romantic, uplifting, and moving story by first-time fiction writer Gerald Otten.
