In rural New Hampshire, Covid-19 hits the Putney family with every weapon it has—death, addiction, abuse, grief and anxiety. When the Putney parents are among the first victims of the pandemic, their six adolescent children are left with a brand new house, a thriving construction business, and lots of challenges. The kids respond as only young people can—with hilarity, passion, sex, agility, imagination, and innovation. Their close ties to one another and their connections with nature give them unique strength and resilience. Blanche Putney, age 20, elbows her way to the front of this family saga. She’s the protagonist who will survive or die. Her brothers and sister, in-laws and friends make The Putney’s Pandemic a marathon with death as seen from many perspectives.
