Sandy McDermott is one of them, a solitary survivor who has braved the last decade alone. Now, finally, she's found something she truly cares about. After years of loneliness, she has a new family. Just when things seem to be going so well, tragedy strikes again. Sandy is forced to make a decision that will affect her entire family, and perhaps humanity as a whole. Things can't continue the way they have been. Somehow, some way, they must find a way to rebuild. Merely surviving is no longer enough. THE SURVIVORS: A tale of love, hope, and humanity set against the backdrop of post-apocalyptic New Zealand.
