After his daughter coughed herself to death and his wife left for the city, Frank hid in their house. Even while riots captured the downtown, smoke rose from the neighbourhood, and his water was cut off, he refused to leave. With only a pool in his basement and a huge bag of rice to survive, he is coming apart as rapidly as his society.
When he goes down an alley to kill a dying cat and finds a child, Kaela’s need rescues him from the flames that reach out from the increasingly dangerous city. To distract her from the chaos, Frank tells her about an orderly main street, a library and school, stores, and other impossible remnants of their disintegrating society. Although his description sounds more like a myth than reality, on the road they meet others like themselves, dreamers searching for peace and security. Unfortunately, there are also those who repay kindness with malice, and generosity with greed, and Frank and Kaela’s bond is tested in a world without police and the rule of law.
Join Frank and Kaela as they negotiate their deteriorating world. With only their dreams of a better life to guide them, and their love to hold them together, they look for a place worthy of a child who has been burned before.

Not Quite Dark A PostApocalyptic Adoption Story eBook Barry Pomeroy Reviews
In "Not Quite Dark" a man and a girl he feels responsible for walk across a Post Apocalyptic world in search of a place to call home. But this is not the usual tale filled with flesh eating zombies ans marauding hordes of cannibalistic humans. In this parable we discover that people remain people even after the collapse of government. Yes, there are those who are evil and see the collapse as a chance to do harm, but they are not the norm. Most survivors are shell shocked, trying to understand what has become of their world and attempt to find answers in what no longer makes sense. As the girl and man wander, encountering remnants of the lost world and providing the reader with clues about what destroyed it, this narrative is illuminated by extraordinary tenderness. This man who lost his entire past finds some small sliver of hope for a possible future, personified by a little girl who may hold the key to rebuilding society.The Man's loving efforts to shepherd this girl are made that much more wrenching by the constant search for food, shelter, safety, companionship or hope where people must constantly scavenge simply to subsist.But the book is more radiant than punishing as we see this man embrace faith in the face of no hope whatsoever. Reading Post Apocalyptic literature always begs the question--once our way of life is gone, why would anyone want to survive? "Not Quite Dark" gives us one answer. Because as long as there is love, maybe there is something to live for, and as the narrator shows us at the end, maybe there is a even little bit of hope. I enjoyed this book's writing style immensely, its story simple and told in a manner that came to me clearly, instantly creating depth with a minimum of prose.
Great reading. Made me want to go out and find all the lost kids and hold them all tight and make it all better. And kick some assessed!!!
I loved this book. It is a father-daughter tale - beautiful in its telling - moving.
