Coals and Ash

The world for some comes to an end, while for others it is a new beginning. Tam, who loves her privacy and hates children has her world interrupted by its ending. Faced with children with no parents and no one to look after them, she embarks on a journey that saves her and all those who she embraces. Set in a post-apocalyptic Australia Lyn McConchie takes the reader to a place where nothing works properly and the future is bleak. But Lyn knows enough about survival to add a deep sense of realism in this novel, and a deep sense of care for others. In a world that seems to have lost all hope, Lyn digs out the remnants of life and gives it new meaning.
