The Long Ride Home: Building Tomorrow

The Hollow has survived the first year. Now it has to become something worth keeping.

With spring behind them and the growing season underway, David and Grace are finally seeing the results of everything their family and neighbors fought to build. Fields are producing, the spring is flowing, and the communities around them are beginning to find ways to work together.

But survival brings new problems.

Medicine is running short. Good seed is worth more than money ever was. Roads are failing, supplies are scattered across a world that no longer has trucks or stores to deliver them, and people beyond the Hollow are beginning to organize in ways that may change life for everyone.

For Luke, growing up means taking on responsibilities that would have belonged to grown men before the world changed. Alongside Billy Jean, Russ, and Walter, he sets out on a journey that will test how much he has learned—and whether he is ready when others have to depend on him.

For David and Grace, the challenge is becoming something different. They aren't just trying to keep their family alive anymore.

They're helping build what comes next.

Book 7 of The Long Way Home continues the story of family, survival, hard work, and rebuilding after the world goes dark.
