The Land of Empty Houses — John L. Moore

In the not-so-distant future a courageous soldier named Daniel may be the only hope for a world threatened by heretics, racists, and savages. Known for his bravery and pure heart, Daniel guides Deborah, a beautiful and mysterious woman, through the vast wastelands of the American interior and helps protect her as she valiantly tries to revive religion in the wake of nuclear disaster.
