Della's Diary

If youve ever watched one of those prepper reality TV shows you might think that the people they portray are crazy - or you might secretly agree with them. Dellas Diary is the story of how Della - a normal wife mother and writer - slowly finds herself slipping into the prepper lifestyle. All she wants to do is protect the people she cares about but instead she faces a growing rift with her husband and surprising life changes. Excerpt Being a mom is a lot like being a prepper. Its all about being prepared for the most common crises with enough extra supplies to help you handle pretty much anything that might come your way. Although I probably should carry some peanut-free granola bars in case I ever have to feed a kid with a peanut allergy. Its always a toss-up whether another parent is horrified when they see me feeding my son peanuts or whether they high five me for refusing to bow down to the establishment. Maybe I need to hang around with different parents. Anyway were ready. Bring on the party! Bright Little Light Press says: Dellas Diary humanizes the sometimes crazy-seeming extremes of the prepper lifestyle. Della herself is an engaging interesting character and you find yourself rooting for her and even understanding her descent into prepper-dom. Readers say: This book has a lot of layers. Introspection. Political awareness. Romance. Humor. Just when you think youve got it pinned down it surprises you with something new. I totally wasnt expecting the direction the book took but Della is a relatable and compelling character. Della is just like a friend of mine if that friend was maybe a little too concerned about improbable things happening. I love how she feels like a real person like someone I know.
