Bishop’s book is a gripping story of determination and perseverance in the face of desolation and complete calamity. “A new journey was beginning, and there could be no preparation for unpredictable destruction. She thought of Marie traveling and prayed they too would be safe. “Beth grabbed a few necessities and her pets and headed to the safest nearby space she knew-the storm cellar. He shared news of catastrophe and widespread panic but no information of what the cause was, but something destructive was happening. It was her friend Vet Gary on the radio, and his message was frantic. ‘Mayday, Mayday!’ Beth sprang out of bed and stumbled down the dimly lit hallway. “There was a loud screaming from the HAM radio down the hall around four in the morning. Beth fell asleep with nostalgic dreams of favorite things. The pets followed her to the bedroom and settled for the night. “She wrapped up the evening with some work on a jigsaw puzzle and placed her fishing tackle near the back door. Beth was planning to catch up at home, with HAM radio operators, spend some quality time fishing in the nearby river, and write a few stories to share with friends,” writes Bishop. Marie had left that morning with her brother to visit family up north. Beth sat under a huge oak tree and relaxed after chores were done, animals fed, and the evening light fading. “It was a warm spring evening in the country home where Beth and Marie shared their lives with dogs, cats, cows, chickens, and many beautiful birds flittering in the trees. Bishop, who grew up on a farm in Texas hearing emotional stories of surviving WWII from her father, has completed her most recent book, “Uprooted”: a captivating survival thriller that follows one woman’s efforts to navigate the world around her following a catastrophic event causing destruction and panic.
