The Things That Keep Us Here: A Novel Audiobook

" This was the author's first book....I'll definitely be looking for her second! "

" Excellent Book. I thought the author wrote with such clarity, I felt I was involved in each scene with this family. A thought provoking, frightening read. It made me want to go stock up on water, food and a generator, plus a few guns. This story brought to mind once again that society is really a pandemic away from a total breakdown to our systems. If you like books that scare the crap out of you with the possibilities of what could happen to our world when systems fail--you'll love this suspenseful, informative read. And I did. "

" I loved this book...scary though. "

" All the disasters that could possibly befall a family wrapped up in a neat book. But some it could happen so be prepared! "

" I read this in one evening .... scared the heck out of me , yet I couldn't put it down ....made me wanna run out and stock up ... "

" I'm a sucker for a good pandemic story, and that's exactly what this was. Made me want to stockpile some cash, buy a shotgun, and make sure the generator still works....just in case.... "

" fun, gripping "

" Well, easy to read and the story is one which you can really relate to. The couple has a story which unfolds as you read. Bottom line: love the people you love. "

" I read this on Mimi Smartypants recommendation. It was engrossing, but nothing earth shattering. Freaked me out though. "

" Great -could really happen- book.. "

" Could not put it down!! So good. "

" Oh, I really liked this one. "

" Good. An interesting story. It reminds you that things like this can happen, how to be resilient and how to communicate with others in crisis. "

" This was a good enough read, I would describe it as chick lit. The plot is great--a pandemic! The main character is a divorced mother who does her best to keep things going. I won't go into it too much, but everyone is dying and society becomes increasingly lawless. "

" I thought it was slow at first, but toward the end, I couldn't put it down. The story was good and made me wonder if all that happened in the book could happen in real life...scary thought!!! "

" This book details the personal experience of a family and community caught in a modern flu pandemic. Wonderful, realistic read by a local author. "

" I found this book to be very thought provoking. It makes your wheels spin about what you would have to do to get your family to survive a pandemic. I have added buying a generator and stock piling rations to my very soon to do list! "

" I really enjoyed this book. It turned out to be far different than I expected. The basic premise is that there is a flu pandemic and everyone goes into basic survival mode. It made me really think. THe plot does not go like expected. "

" A page turner, for sure! I was left with the awful realization that all this could really happen, and pretty much once did. I loved the ending - full of hope. "

" Definitely an eye-opening novel. Enjoyed the read. It brings to mind the question, how far will a mother go to protect her children? "

" Keep me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't put it down. "

" A haunting story. Makes me want to go do some serious shopping and have my house fully stocked! "

" the entire time I was reading this I kept thinking *omg...this could really happen!* "
