In an America that has split into two separate countries (the Blue States and the Red States) an old Jewish woman attempts to help two young men find their way to a better world that may or may not exist. From Paul Tremblay's In the Mean Time, this tale is one of fifteen "finely crafted" (Locus Magazine) stories of fear and paranoia, stories of apocalypses both societal and personal, and stories of longing and coping.
