After the Flood is set in a world after the sea levels have risen as a result of Climate Change.

Myra and her daughter Pearl, live on a boat, a precarious life, reliant on the fish they catch. When Myra discovers that her eldest daughter, the daughter that her husband took with him when he left her, may still be alive, she is determined to find her.

This is a pretty bleak book: people live in fear of illness, starvation, storms and pirates. These pirates kill for people’s possessions, take slaves, run ‘breeding ships’ - and they want to build their own territories on dry land.

This is reminiscent of the film Water World in some places - the promise of a better, dry place to live, the strong preying on the weak. It’s also a book about sacrifice and the lengths a mother will go to to protect her children.

This won’t be the book for you if you like a happy ending, but if you enjoy a book that’s beautifully descriptive, both in emotion and seascape, you’ll love this.

The Greatest Understatement
My daughter presently likes this better than "Hamilton." The cast is amazing, but I especially love Keala Settle. It makes me happy on a rainy day, and that's a feat.

I remember reading Meg and Mog when I was a small child and I loved it! I'm so happy I get to share these books with my 3 year old daughter. She really enjoyed this one, it made her giggle and she really wanted to know where Mog went. Adorable!

Loved this movie from start to finish. The fiery red headed princess who doesn't need a man to show her worth, the trials and tribulations between mother and daughter which ends with such love and respect for each other. Would 1000% recommend seeing this movie.

Great book

I love how this book shows the struggle of being a military wife! She really got it right. I also like how she told the big picture of the Bible to her daughter. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a good, thought provoking book.

Book Favorite

"She [her daughter] is hooked on The Baby-Sitters Club series, though. They're only in print up to volume 7, so I wrote to the author, Ann M. Martin—but she didn't have any more! We found a hundred-and-fifty-something books on eBay, and she can't stop reading them."
