Heading Home — Susan Kiernan-Lewis

What happens when the one thing you've been praying for turns out to be the one thing that will destroy you and everything you love?
After two years of living and adjusting to life after the bomb, Sarah and her son John have discovered that happiness can trump grief and loss. Together they've created a life of fellowship and hard work, pride of self and community, good friendships and, for Sarah, love. But the moment a messenger comes to the camp with the news that the United States government is gathering up all of its stranded nationals to help them get home, is the moment their world begins to crumble.
Who could guess that the one thing they'd prayed so fervently for would be the very thing that would destroy everything they've worked so hard to build?
