All Us Kids

A near-future vision of old soldiers, Lakota refugees, nuclear disarmament, ideological abrasion, wide-open spaces, motivational inmates, prairie communes, spiritual tutelage, a crusty old abortion doctor, a traitorous Malaysian, and a lot of brown grass. Dan Meade volunteers to help fight a hopeless battle for control of the Missouri River corridor. Bodies, missiles, unexpected friends, and adoptive children pile up as Dan journeys north along the great reservoirs of the northern plains. The cold prairie winter finds Dan and his family among an unwieldy community of evangelical refugees and the former inmates of a women’s penitentiary. Countries large and small line up to claim the devastated USA as Dan’s community struggles to find a home.
