Awakening: Warning from a Small Town

By Stephen C Fox

"We must be resilient because we've seen it repeatedly, whether it's a wildfire, flood, or winter storms. We must now be prepared for all those things."

Awakening, though fictional, is nonetheless a chronicle of two recent calamities to hit a small California town.
Ben and Barbara Connor believed they had found the perfect summer getaway, a few miles from their foggy coastal home.
The couple worked hard to make it a peaceful sanctuary in the mountains. Ben's pet project was a swimming pool to beat summer's heat, but threats from their forested backyard caused the Connors to reconsider the viability of a home in the wilderness.
In the space of a few months, 'Mother Nature' unleashed back-to-back blows that drew the town closer to an appreciation of climate change and a willingness to do something about it.
The Connors had heard it said that nature always reclaimed what man took away. Only when they could no longer avoid looking squarely at their backyard did they 'awaken' to the seriousness of a planet in crisis.
