Who are we without the Earth? If aliens said you had to leave, would you go?

An eco-spiritual, hopepunk, women's sci-fi about the last human to leave Earth, and what she takes with her as she tries to understand life as a human in space. She begins as a young journalist on Earth, and ultimately becomes a pioneer woman on a desolate planet. It's a story about loss, aliens, love and growth. Easy to read, comical and tragic at the same time.

Author

Dawn M. Wallace is a shepherdess in rural North Carolina. The former journalist spent time with people of all walks of life, having traveled extensively as a child between Europe, India and America.

The sci-fi romance, Last of the Salts, is her debut novel. If you love ecological, apocalyptic, and comical science fiction that poses questions that leave you thinking long after you've finished the book, then put this book on your shelf.

While she writes her next book, she is also homeschooling her three children on the farm with her military veteran husband, sheep ranching, growing all sorts of vegetables, and riding horses when she can.
