Tour: WHAT BRANCHES GROW by T S. Beier

One of the greatest pleasures in a long life devoted to Reading is opening a book to discover a STRONG female protagonist, one molded through life and trauma, sorrow and pain, yet who is "more than," a persona not just a personality, one with ethics and Integrity, a character I'll be willing to trail into the desert; or in this case, into the all-but-deserted feral wasteland remaining after the Great Apocalypse. Unfortunately, that kind of character isn't common enough, and when paired with a self-analytical, hard-lived, male secondary character as a foil, in a well-thought-out and severely Dystopian [yet all too human] post-apocalypse, well I'm going to jump on that wagon train.

Thank you, T. S. Beier! You've brought me a Thinking Person's Post-Apocalypse, a terrifyingly bland but dangerous attempt at Society in which human frailties and missteps are all too well showcased, and provided hours of entertainment, adrenaline, and years of thought and philosophizing!
