About This Book
Five short stories (four all-new adventures with Tori Cunningham) BEGINNINGS Before the Flip, Tori's commitment was to her husband and children. All that changed when her home was attacked by a raiding party of brigands. She must become the woman she was trained to be if she is to find her family's killers and survive what the world has become. HOME Tori discovers a group of men who take her in. Once her guard is down, she discovers they are not as they appeared. She must wait for the opportune time to strike but is forced into action when a small girl is introduced. BUBBA During her journey back to the Southern Illinois homestead, Tori once again encounters the worst of humanity. She has lost her Harley-Davidson, her rifle, her knife, and the instrument of her empowerment, Bubba, a shiny Smith & Wesson 1911 .45-caliber pistol. She must face the evil and regain what has been stolen. She discovers a piece of her humanity cannot be so easily replaced. LEFT FOR DEAD Tori is seriously injured and left for dead, but a mysterious woman finds her and nurses her back to health. All the while Tori is fading in and out of consciousness. In the end, Tori discovers that there's more to her caretaker than meets the eye. Tori must face her own demons and accept the fact that there's more to humanity than carnage. AN UNLIKELY FRIEND After the events of the trilogy, Tori seeks out Stephen Gill and his family to ascertain his absence. Tori finds a Minion doll with the decomposed corpse of Stephen Gill. She takes the doll with her on a journey to discover the truth of his murder and where his wife, Sam, and his daughter, Evan, have disappeared to.
