After the Fall

When the world ends, what's left to care about?

Taylor Stone is no hero. She has three simple rules for life after the plague: Keep moving. Keep to yourself. Don't get involved. The plague took a particular joy in killing the women of the world, making it that much harder for the few who survived. The only thing that matters since she escaped from a small farm outside of Pittsburgh is the truth waiting at the end of her journey home. The rest of the world, or what's left of it, can go straight to Hell as far as she's concerned.

When a group of survivors offers her food and shelter, she is more than happy to spend a few days, take what she needs, and get out, like she always does. But in a place called Burninghead Farm, despite all her rules and plans, Taylor finds a group of people who have more to offer than the basics of survival. Most of all, there is Kate, a woman who makes Taylor realize love is still alive and makes her dream of a future she thought was no longer possible. If only Taylor can find the courage to fight for it.

It turns out that the end of the world isn't about the end of the world at all, but about what happens after.

About the Author
Robin Summers began her writing career in high school, thanks to an insightful (and a little bit pushy) English teacher who, having decided that Robin was not living up to her potential, gave Robin extra, non-graded homework over her winter break: to read Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Helene Hanff's Q's Legacy. In those pages Robin discovered how far good writing and a vivid imagination could take a reader, and she has been writing ever since.

Robin is an Illinois native who works in public policy in Washington, DC. When she is not writing, she can often be found rooting for Da Bears and her beloved Cubbies. After the Fall is her first novel.
