The Story Behind This Book
The story was inspired by a conversation my mother had with her friends when they were teenagers about what each would do if the end of the world were imminent. I put this together with a story I was already writing, and Atomic Summer exploded. The book is dedicated to her memory and all of the proceeds go to charity
