Evelyn Wadsworth Symington collection of John Hay material

I will say upfront I did not enjoy the ending, but this is worth people's time. A father and his eight-year-old son find themselves on the earth after everyone else disappears. What's fun and I think unique about this story is that a lot of it is about a father trying to protect his boy from a world no one could understand. Even more generally it's about a parent who isn't particularly gifted in parenting trying to become better along with keeping them both alive in a world that is clearly dying. The author creates some believable characters along with a realistic depiction of mental illness. Not perfect, but a wonderful attempt.
