نقد و بررسی
It's now been eight months since the occurrence of the world power outage featured in Blackstock's Restoration series. People are learning to live off the land, help each other, and survive. However, hatred, violence, and all sorts of crime abound. The Banning family does not escape these horrors. But, in spite of them, romance, faith, and hope blossom. The third in the series comes to life as narrated by Susie Breck. Her performance leaves listeners enthralled with her ability to take every part in this fast-paced story. The combination of faith, drama, and good narration makes this a superb audiobook. N.L. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

Blackstock's third novel in the Restoration series is slow-moving in the first half, but the pace picks up considerably in the second. The Branning family and their neighbors are now eight months into a worldwide blackout, trying to make ends meet and survive one crisis after another as violence rips their community apart. With the sheriff and his deputies desperately overworked and earning only a tiny fraction of their former pay, they can no longer keep their overcrowded, disease-ridden county jail under control. That means that it's up to Deni Branning to help clear the name of boy-next-door love interest Mark Green when he's wrongly accused of attempted murder. The novel reveals a heavy hand with religion, but Blackstock's overt sermonizing does offer some strong and wise thoughts on forgiveness: "Forgiveness was not an emotion," one character reflects. "You didn't have to feel it. You just had to do it."
