Alone Together
Before The Lottery, Nathan Thomas already knew the pain of loss.
A pebble bounced down the side of a rocky cliff, an insignificant event itself, though it portended the disaster that came after. Soon, the side of the mountain comes crashing down.
Three vehicles on a curvy mountain road late at night. The occupants don't know each other, but will soon find themselves caught in the middle of a deadly disaster. And not all of them will walk away.
A few miles away, a teenager will discover he is now alone in this world, no family left for him. But he also learns that family takes many forms, so maybe he is not as alone as he suspects.
Alone Together is a story of disaster and hope.
NOTE: This novella is only available on the author's website.

This is story of heroism, loss and love. While it is a short novella, it is riveting, well written, and has excellent character development. I enjoyed reading it, even though, at times, it brought tears to my eyes. I did receive a complimentary copy from the author and publisher, and I am very glad I did.

This is a short book that tells a powerful story. I could not put it down. It tells of a terrible loss and the sacrifice in a heroic act. These are characters I will long remember. My wife obtained a complimentary copy from the author, and I am very glad she did. An excellent read.
