SUGAR MOUNTAIN is a cautionary tale about an all-too-possible catastrophe: a deadly flu epidemic that starts in China and spreads throughout the world, slowly at first, then unbelievably fast. And there is no cure. People who prepare for such possibilities are variously referred to as homesteaders, preppers, or survivalists. This is a story of one such extended family, the Arkwrights, and how, at their farm in western Massachusetts, they gather and stand together in the face of a relentless mass killer. As well as the ravaging influenza, they must contend with provisioning themselves and fending off a local well-armed and ruthless para-military group all the while hanging on to enough humanity to make their survival meaningful. SUGAR MOUNTAIN explores how such a calamity affects individual family members, their neighbors--many of whom are not prepared--and society as a whole. This is a story of a fight to survive in the midst of pressures and threats and against long odds. As one member of the family records in her journal, The world is coming to an end... The world is starting all over again.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>I read Sugar Mountain on my Kindle and couldn't put it down. It was utterly gripping and frightening (thanks a lot!)... But oh what a grim subject, which I take to be on the edge of allegory. Thank you for sending me the book. -Lloyd Schwartz</p><p> </p><p>I just finished it... a riveting read... better than many "best sellers." -Bob Viarengo</p><p> </p><p>I am addicted and cannot put it down. Philip Lovejoy </p><p>I stayed up until 2:00 am to finish the book last night, I couldn't put it down. I loved every "page". It was fantastic. And I loved Allegra's journal....Great book. I want to see the movie. -Anna Doyle</p><p>Just wanted to say that I read four chapters last night and am thoroughly hooked. The characters and their plight stayed with me today, can't wait to continue! -Jennie Summerall</p><p>But what a page turner this is! Beautifully written literature.... The suspense in unstoppable; the multitude of characters flawlessly orchestrated; there's a New England aura to it, and Allegra's diary a wonderfully pinned down example. I love every minute of it and I am only at page 216. -Stratis Haviaris</p><p>Unfortunately, this absolutely could happen either in the way you write about or as a natural mutation in the virus. -Stephen J. Gluckman, Professor of Medicine, Perelman Medical School at the University of Pennsylvania; Medical Director, Penn Global Medicine</p><br>
