TEASER TUESDAYS :
hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading ~
Teaser :
"Wow," Tom murmured. He'd never spent much time thinking about what it meant to be wealthy. Now it hit him, in a much bigger way than before, how much of a difference money could make.
~ page 43 “Empty" by Suzanne Weyn
About the Book (from Amazon):
It's the near future - the very near future - and the fossil fuels are running out. No gas. No oil. Which means no driving. No heat. Supermarkets are empty. Malls have shut down. Life has just become more local than we ever knew it could be.I always look forward to reading everyone's teasers! ~ Wendi
Nobody expected the end to come this fast. And in the small town of Spring Valley, decisions that once seemed easy are quickly becoming matters of life and death. There is hope - there has to be hope - just there are also sacrifices that need to be made, and a whole society that needs to be rethought.
Teens like Nicki, Tom, and Leila may find what they need to survive. But their lives are never going to be the same again.

In that kind of setting, the whole concept of wealth would have to change.
um, money can make you do strange things good or bad, very interesting.

An interesting premise. Thanks for visiting!
Oo wow. This sounds like a really, eerily plausible dystopian kind of read. Awesome!
