Following a heist of commercial explosives in Ohio, Enola May's post-retirement journey around the United States takes her dangerously close to acts of terrorism. At first, peril seems to be kept at a distance, carried out in another state, or even presented as a flashback in time, until Enola comes face-to-face with evil. Questioning her own safety, and the welfare of those she loves, Enola fights for her mental and physical well-being in a world that is poisoned by lost relationships, internal demons, societal prejudice, threats to international security, and the constant reminder that life is fragile. Under smoky skies, hope hides, and rebirth takes place. Will the world become stronger? Or will it wither and die? Author Sherie L. Howard leaves readers questioning their own existence in a world gone mad.

Melantha Fears witnessed a murder as a child, deep in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, a horrific event that she kept secret for over thirty years, until the details erupted inside of her. Caught up in a whirlpool of voices, Melantha fights for control, using family members as pawns. Her oldest daughter, Enola, escapes her mother's world, leaving behind an abusive father, a sister she barely knows, and her childhood friend, as she journeys across America. Unable to capitulate, Melantha is persistent in her battle to locate Enola. When Enola resurfaces, she is a newlywed, and is exposed to a world of unexpected endings and new beginnings. A heroine, Enola relies on her own genetic strength, and fights against the world of obliteration she knew as a child, while grappling with her faith. Readers will cry, laugh, and learn from Sherie L. Howard's skillful use of characters and the wisdom found in their soulful dialogue.
