Publisher's summary

Cassie Blake lives a simple life on a ranch with her family. Although she hates having to go to the city, when a dear friend makes plans to come visit, Cassie makes the drive to the airport to pick her up. While waiting at the airport, an event occurs that will change her life forever.

She is over 100 miles from home when the power fails, cell phones die, cars cease working, and planes begin falling from the skies. As a disabled veteran who relies on an electric wheelchair to get around, Cassie and her service dog, Petra, must find a way to get home in spite the challenges of distance, lawlessness, and weather. She knows getting home might be the biggest challenge of her life. Will she be able to overcome the challenges to see her family again, or will she become yet another victim?

I like this story.

Cassie is an ex-army police, she was sent home after her vehicle went over an IUD, which she lost part of a leg and her whole unit, including her military dog. It has been a while; I want to say almost two years or a little more than two years. She has a ranch outside of New Castle but she gets stranded at an airport, I feel like the airport is just over the Ohio boarder when the lights go out because of an EMP. She meets a fellow Army brat and together with her German Shepard they start the long road back to the ranch.
Being an amputee myself, I like that Dianne has Cassie taking care of her “residual limb” or stump on there road towards home. I like this author a lot; I have read every book she has released on Audible. She writes mostly post-apocalyptic fiction, which I generally enjoy and this is a clean series. This book and the second book are really short. Some of the imagery is disturbing but then again, man has evil in their hearts only continually and when there are no consequences that is when you really see what people are made of.
I am in a wheelchair; I have to live my life in a chair and my wheelchair is powered by a battery which is plugged in every night but I do not call my chair an electric chair. An electric chair is what prisoners are put to death in. People that spend life in a chair like mine call them power chairs. Just an Fyi.

Both of these books are clean meaning, no bad language and no sex scenes. A good first book in a two-book series!
