When no one is left to save you, save yourself or die trying.

The one constant in Jules’ life is family. Catastrophe brought the Martins together under one roof to endure food scarcity, punishing Gulf Coast heat, no electricity, and no indoor plumbing.

One outhouse for twelve people is no way to live, but at least they are safe… For now.

With every setback and stolen dignity, Jules questions whether she wants to survive at all. She keeps the family fed, hunting and fishing along the shores of Mobile Bay while avoiding both Army patrols and a vicious, radical militia group known as The Knights.

When two members of The Knights set their sights on Jules, violence lands on her doorstep, threatening everyone connected to the family.

The one bright spot Jules finds is in a chance meeting with an 11-year-old looter who gives her a new sense of purpose and a reason to survive. She sees herself in the rebel-boy—independent, foolishly fearless, and capable of making costly mistakes.

Will she be able to protect the boy from rising violence? Or will they both become victims?

Deliciously Southern and with a break-neck pace, Splintered Reeds is an adventure thriller that explores the fallout of a national catastrophe, the strength of family, and the fight for survival in a world turned upside down.
