The Long Ride Home: The First Winter

THE LONG RIDE HOME: THE FIRST WINTER

David made it home.

Now he has to make sure his family survives what comes next.

The EMP changed everything. The power is gone. Supply chains are dead. Stores have been picked clean, and the world beyond the mountains grows more dangerous by the day.

With winter closing in, David and his family turn their attention to the basics that will decide who sees spring: food, firewood, shelter, medicine, and the hard work of preparing for months when nothing can be taken for granted.

But they aren't alone anymore.

New survivors are finding their way into the mountains. Some need help. Others believe survival gives them the right to take what someone else has worked for. When a former sheriff arrives claiming authority over the area—and demanding a share of everything David's family has stored—the fragile peace surrounding their home begins to crack.

David has spent months fighting to get back to his family.

He has no intention of letting anyone take away what they fought so hard to build.

And as the first hard cold settles over the mountains, David is about to learn that surviving the collapse was only the beginning.

The First Winter is Book Four of The Long Ride Home, a gripping post-apocalyptic survival series about family, resilience, community, and the determination to protect what matters most.
