For Home and Hearth

By: Ethan Warrener

Narrated by: Ethan Warrener

Ella Holland wanted a simple life, but she would have settled for survival.

Life in the ravaged wilds of Appalachia is dangerous, and most folks don't live past 50. Even if sickness or starvation doesn't get you, the rival clans, shifty nomads, or the unbred monsters that roam the hills will. This is why a clan must stick together at all costs, nestled in whatever patch of peaceful land it has scratched out for itself.

When a wandering drifter turns up with an army of ravenous pigmen at his heels, Ella Holland and the rest of her clan will have to confront the all the harsh realities they've kept sealed outside their walls, the lies they've told themselves, and even the specter of their own extinction.

Very interesting story!

I loved the voices of the different characters! He has quite the talent for it!

great apocalypse story that leaves me wanting more

narration was great, the story was gripping I finished it so quickly and now I just want to know more about this world a prequel or sequel would be great.

Read this book!

"faith is just courage by another name"
This is a story of humanity, faith, and survival. Warrener has created a strange and harsh world, yet these characters are so earthbound and real. This story is engaging and thought provoking. I' m not usually a big fan of dystopia as a genre. Yet, this is a story that fully embraces community, family, and the sacrifices that are required to keep what you care about whole in strife filled times. I hope Warrener plans to add more to this story, because I want more.

p.s. Kudos to the author for narrating their own work. They did a fantastic job!
Trigger Warnings: violence, attempted sexual assault, language

Assumption Confirmed!

I assumed this book would be great, and it was. Interesting take on a dystopia wirh a Hitchkockian twist. Narration was easy to listen to and set the mood well. Cliffhanger ending, too!
