Book Description
All three books in Sandra J. Jackson's 'Escape Series', a series for post-apocalyptic science fiction novels, now in one volume! Playing in The Rain: When the effects of a hypnosis inducing drug begin to fade, April is introduced to a sister she didn't know she had. The more she learns about her environment, the more she wants to escape. Confused as to their whereabouts, the sound of rain, a sound they haven’t heard in a long time, interrupts their conversation and eventually lulls them to sleep. They are together, but where? Only a small window offers them a view of the world... and a glimmer of hope for freedom. Catching Butterflies: With some memories returning, April and Beth struggle to find answers to their questions. What happened to their family, and to the rest of the world? An empty building only brings more mystery into their lives and soon, April and Beth discover that there are others as well. For April, finding her family is priority one; for Beth, it's sticking to the trails. But why are they being hunted? Dancing In The Wind: April has returned to the place where her nightmare began. Trapped in the building, she not only has to deal with the upcoming winter, but also the indistinguishable whispers in her head hold her captive. For April, remembering is reliving the events in her life every day - good and bad. When she discovers the source of the voice in her head, she turns to her parents for a solution. But someone else also knows about the secrets trapped in April’s head, and they have a plan of their own. But who will get to them first?
