Synopsis "martha's mirror"
"Martha's Mirror: Sequel to Martha's Vine" "Martha's Mirror" is the highly anticipated sequel to "Martha's Vine," a post-apocalyptic saga set in Alberta, Canada, and written by Edmonton author, Sheree Zielke. A WORLD WITHOUT POWER A WORLD WHERE THE CRUELLEST REIGN A WORLD WHERE WOMEN ARE SOLD LIKE CATTLE A pallor of death has settled over the Canadian province of Alberta--a post-apocalyptic world sagging under a total loss of electricity. The necessities of life are disappearing: fuel, food, ammunition. But the Gatekeeper's people struggle on. They have lost many men in a battle with a biker king, "The Man." Worse, their women and children have been taken hostage, and are destined for eastern Canada--to be sold as "clean" women to the Mafia. The "Gatekeeper, Matthew," is plagued by guilt over faulty decisions he made in the defense of his compound. His wife, "Martha," takes a bullet to her chest--shot by "Brad"--in an attempt to free the captives--including her daughters and grandchildren. Matthew vows to make amends, but an early winter and a record snowfall get in his way. Meanwhile, Brad, a traitor and a murderer...has plans of his own--cruel plans that will forever change the lives of Martha and her adult daughters, "Ruth and Elizabeth." No one knows about the evil that awaits them in "Drumheller"--a city nestled in the southern Alberta Badlands--home to mystical hoodoos and the world's largest dinosaur. For some, the ancient Badlands will mean...revenge and retribution. But for others, Drumheller will mean...extinction. "Brad, Ruth thought. She swiped at an angry tear. She clenched her teeth and re-shouldered her long gun. I can handle a few hours of this. A seed of hope began to grow. Then Mom can take over. " But she didn't know that a new hell was coming... And it was going to last for months. ""A scared woman is capable of a great deal...very capable.""
