Human-induced global warming and resulting natural cataclysms have brought man nearly to extinction. Cara Martinsen is born into this new world of an Anthropic Summer. Energy reserves have been depleted. Planes, ships and railroads no longer exist, and governments have collapsed. There is no direct contact with survivors across the continent or overseas. How Cara's parents and grandparents survived this apocalypse begins this saga. Civilization is returning, however murderous raiders and pirates still plague the land and seas. A precocious and courageous young woman, Cara hopes to bring order back where man learns to live in harmony with Nature. Join Cara's quest as she ventures from her idyllic Massachusetts village into this realistic new world, fighting against misogyny, inequality, kidnapping, murder, and abuse. Witness the plausible landscape of lost cities and altered ecosystems during her adventures. There is no dystopia of superhumans, mutants or aliens; the people and places are believable
