A sleepless night saved her life. Now, she has to survive the aftermath. On the morning of September 11, Allison was running late for work. That twist of fate saved her from the towers but left her a widow navigating an unrecognizable, militarized America with her two children. As the nation quickly slides into a dark reality of checkpoints, curfews, and domestic internment camps, Allison’s focus is singular: protect her grieving son and deaf daughter. But when the state’s tightening net threatens her home, survival means trusting two strangers carrying their own deep wounds: Jake, a cynical cable worker raw with grief, and Farid, a suspended Muslim NYPD officer targeted by the system he swore to protect.
Allison must overcome her suspicions of these men if they are to survive what comes next. From a locked-down Staten Island to a fragile sanctuary inside a West Philadelphia cemetery mansion, Songs of Children is a gripping, emotionally raw exploration of what a mother will endure to shield her children from a country turned on itself. Allison must decide how far she will go to protect her family when the world outside has lost its mind. $0.99 on Kindle.
