Books That Make You Envision Agriculture in an Apocalyptic America

If society crumbled and you had to fend for yourself, how would you go about it? Do you know how to grow crops? Or purify water? Or protect the ones you love at all costs?

In her dystopian book series “Asylum,” Susy Smith explores these questions. In the gripping world she’s created, a young woman must learn to live off the land on her family’s farm—until the worst side of human nature darkens her door, forcing her to fight for herself, and for freedom.

Ascendant, the second book in the “Asylum” series, is out now, and continues the harrowing adventure.

Susy is the curriculum specialist of the Kanza Tribe in Oklahoma, where she lives in a small town. She weaves her firsthand knowledge and experience into her stories, giving her writing a compelling level of authenticity.
