About this audiobook
At first, Into the Forest was a word-of-mouth favorite of booksellers. Soon, larger publishing houses were noticing Jean Hegland's debut novel and giving it rave reviews. Powerful and disturbing, Into the Forest offers images of an all-too-believable future. As America collapses in the chaos of war, pollution, and bankruptcy, two sisters pool their resources to survive alone in the hills above San Francisco. Although dwindling food and increasing isolation threaten them, they soon find a more immediate danger standing at their door. When a young man arrives, his friendship offers tantalizing fulfillment, but his love threatens to divide the sisters. Hegland's provocative work is reminiscent of George Orwell's 1984 and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. It infuses a tale of survival with startling insights into a young woman's quest for strength.

This is my #2 favorite book. I first read it nearly 20 years ago? Yeah that's about right... 2 sisters, the grid goes down and they have to survive. This is not a faint of heart book! This isn't a sweet little homestead is a realistic glance, and and a deep look at every woman's fears. Worth every minute of it! I have been looking for a used copy for about 10 years now and I have never ran across it. Now that I am nearly fully an ebooks user. This tragic story is at my fingertips again!
