Valley of Hope

A Story of Consequences

The final volume of the Valley Trilogy. The first volume "House Arrest - A Story of Liberation" described how survivors in the Sacramento Valley, after a nuclear war, start to rebuild their lives and defeat a tyrannical government in the town of Sacramento. The second volume "Rainbow Valley - A Story of Choices" continues the saga by describing how six towns in the valley organize their lives according to different economic principles choosing a social organization that works for them. Finally, this third volume: "Valley of Hope - A Story of Consequences" talks about how consequences of past mistakes, like ignoring climate change, catch up with the folks in the Valley, threatening their survival. They have only one hope: find another planet where they can start with a clean slate. In the meantime, they have to hide in underground cities when life above ground becomes too dangerous. The chickens have come home to roost and our abused and exploited planet Earth demands justice.
