No Normal Day--The normal bustle and rush, the everyday routine came to an abrupt end on one early Spring day in America. Beth and her husband, Jack, were miles apart, yet they both immediately knew that something extremely disastrous had occurred. This was not merely a lights out event, this was the loss of the entire power grid, nearly all transportation stopped dead, planes had fallen from the sky. Their grown daughters and their families, stranded in widespread Texas locations awoke to the world turned upside down. With communications non existent, no one knew exactly what had occurred. Each sister had no idea if the other or if their parents were safe. There was one thing they all were sure of, they must find a way to come together, across the miles. Their best chance for survival would be their unity. This family would be tossed into a dangerous and challenging new reality. The biggest task for Jack and Beth and their children would be how to stay alive in this new and hostile world. The consequences of the event, the confusion and frustration of the population would quickly turn to desperation. It would take all the courage and ingenuity that this group could muster to survive these times. No Normal Day II (Unity) Was it an EMP? Was it a natural event or a manmade catastrophe? It had been a year and sketchy communications still gave no definitive answer. The certainty of what happened or who had caused it became irrelevant, they were on their own. Jack and Beth had managed to gather their family together, in a short time. However, the unexplained event had been the end of life as they knew it. It was only the beginning of the challenges they would face, in their struggle to survive in this new life.
