Divided We Fall: A Post-Apocalyptic Novel of America's Coming Civil War

Ava's Crucible, Book 1

De: Mark Goodwin

Narrado por: Stacey Glemboski

Ava's had a hard life, and it's about to get a whole lot tougher!

The deck is stacked against 29-year-old Ava. She’s a fighter, but she’s got trust issues and doesn’t always make the best decisions. Despite her natural beauty, she doesn’t score well in the self-esteem department. Her personal complications aren’t without merit, but America is on the verge of a second civil war, and Ava must pull it together if she wants to survive.

Ava has just lost her adoptive mother to cancer. Her fiancé broke off the engagement shortly after her mom got sick. She has no idea who her biological father is and her adoptive dad walked out on his family for the sweet young thing at the office 15 years ago. With such a long history of loss and abandonment, it’s understandable why she’s hesitant to put her faith in people, but now it’s affecting her relationship with God.

Meanwhile, the tentacles of the deep state have infiltrated every facet of American culture. The public education system, entertainment industry, and mainstream media have all been hijacked by a shadow government intent on fomenting a communist revolution in the United States. The antagonistic message of this agenda has poisoned the minds of America’s youth who are now convinced that capitalism and conservativism are responsible for all the ills of the world. Violent protest, widespread destruction, and politicians who insist on letting the disassociated vent their rage will bring America to her knees, threatening to decapitate the laws, principles, and values on which the country was founded.

Ava refuses to give into fear, but she simply cannot survive on her own. She must deal with her crisis of faith and learn to trust other people, or she’ll never make it through the bloodiest period of America’s history.

Has Potential, But It Was A Slow Start

The characters were well established, but the story slowed down a couple times and was boring during the first half of the book. The story got more interesting towards the end and I look forward for the next book.

Love the near raider

I have truly enjoyed this book. Can't wait to start the next one.. I have already ordered it

Jorge

Wow! This book is excellent! The story line is well written. I can’t wait to move to book #2.

Kinda unbelievable story

I am a Mark Goodwin fan and wanted to believe this story. As I listened I just became more and more disengaged as the president kept coming to her to pull off ops as opposed as opposed to asking special operators. She was untrained and un-disciplined!

Also, the dad coming back from 20 +/- years in China?!?

I didn't get it.

where's book 2

loved it, can't wait for the next. we need more Christian books, thanks Mark Goodwin!

A fresh new perspective

Goodwin changes it up with this series! Taken from the perspective of a women, and narrated by a women it gives a whole new perspective on the potential pending civil war in our country, and how a female lead character would function in this changing environment.

Looking forward to the next book in this series.

interesting

this could be what it looks like this coming election season. We need to be ready.

An awesome read

Another grand slam homerun by Mark. It is very refreshing to have such clean writing without sacrificing the quality. My wife and I cannot wait for the next book. Thank you very much!

Excellent Story

Another great story Mark and the Bible references offer wonderful insights on what lies ahead for Christians. Narration did not bring the story to life as your other audios have done.

Realistic current events mixed with good storytelling.

It’s amazing how Mr. Goodwin continues to turn out Christian based novels. Using his God given talents, he does an amazing job of detailing a realistic story that most of his readers can relate to. He doesn’t lean too heavy into the prepper and post apocalypse nor does he lean too heavy into the religious-political side. These stories are written about your average person and this makes his books relatable and fun to read/listen to.
