Kyle Tait, having survived the harrowing, cross-country journey home to his family, must now struggle for existence in a post-EMP world that no one could have imagined just three short months prior. Each day brings new challenges – how to fight the bitter cold, where to scavenge food for the table, how to best fend off intruders and keep their community safe. As the cold, dark days of winter begin the slow transition to spring, the Tait family is faced with a challenge that dwarves all others and threatens to shatter their already precarious grip on sanity. Kyle and Jennifer are once again forced to endure a trial that threatens the survival of each member of their family. Follow Kyle, Jennifer, and the citizens of Deer Creek, MT as they plumb the depths of their resourcefulness, strength, endurance, and humanity while struggling together to survive the daunting days of winter. Written with the same thread of hope and optimism that seasoned the account of Kyle’s epic journey home, Daunting Days of Winter is Ray Gorham’s long-awaited sequel to his best seller, 77 Days in September.

I think that if I had read this book first I would not have been as interested in the series, but I read the "77 Days in September" first and couldn't wait to find out what happened after Kyle got home. Writing a sequel that was just as good as the first book had to be tough and I didn't think it was as good, however, if another book in this series comes along I would definitely read it. I have to say that I love the writer's style and it is a pleasure to read a book about events such as the one in the book without reading pages and pages of info on what type of guns everyone has and all the ammo that they use in those guns and what kind of range the guns have and what type of sites (spelling?) the guns have etc. I have two guns myself and my husband hunts and has guns so I am not anti-gun but enough is enough. This author puts the focus on the people and their feelings and reactions. Not everyone is good and not everyone is evil. The events in this sequel were sometimes a little hard to imagine as believable. Kyle should be nominated for sainthood....no grudges and eternal patience. It is nice to think that a community could pull together under the kind of stress that this community faces. I live in a small, rural town and no one can agree on something a simple as a leash law for dogs but I would like to believe that communities can come together in emergencies. The ending was an interesting twist and now what happens?Product details

Daunting Days of Winter eBook Ray Gorham Jodi Gorham Reviews
Im torn about my rating to be honest. The book before this (77 days in Sep) was pretty good. It's a good story line, and this book was a good story too. It was well written and this author could really make a mark for himself. My issue with this book is that it was so unsatisfying. Sometimes people just need to be punched in the face for being douchebags, and when it doesn't happen... at all...ever... it starts to get old. The character reactions in my mind were completely incongruent with the story line. At the end, when no one gets their comeuppance, you put the book down feeling completely unsatisfied.
Don't get me wrong... I like his writing style. I like the story lone. I like the characters. It would have been 4-5 stars if not for my throwing up my hands at the end and saying... that's it?? But maybe I'm not a nice enough, forgive and forget type.
...and I have read a lot of the post-apocalypse genre. Very realistic and intelligently written, with some passages you have to steel yourself to get through, and others in which you breathe a sigh of relief. Yet nothing is exploited for it's shock value. It's real, and the author has a well-rounded understanding of human nature, both of the decent kind and of the evil kind, and the skill to articulate both in a way that is both plausible and not exploitive. This story, and the first book in the series, have helped me acquire what I believe to be a more realistic view of
the human realities after a near extinction event It won't be an entirely dog-eat-dog society unless that's the attitude you take into it. Anyone who views it as such will likely not survive very long. In the final analysis, being part of something bigger than yourself is what not only makes survival possible, it is what makes it worthwhile.
This is the sequel to his book, 77 Days in September, which was just amazing. This tells the story of after he walked home, and the hardships going on are amazing. I won't give storylines away... but if you liked 77 Days in Sept., I really believe you should read this. If Mr. Gorham wrote another book on similar subject, I would be interested in reading that also. For me... it's a strong 4 1/2 stars, and with the threat of an EMP or other earth-altering occurrence affecting the United States, as N. Korea and Iran "posture" for power and test nuclear arms... this book is more relevant than ever. This book really made me "think"... what WOULD happen? and what can I do now, for more "peace of mind". I really believe an earth-changing event may happen in my lifetime.
I expected this to be about how the community survived the winter, but there was very little or nothing about that. It was all the usual about the bandits they had to fight and difficulties traveling. How did the community members without wood stoves get heat for the winter? We don't know. What did they do to store food for the winter and how was it distributed fairly so they could all eat? We don't know. What did they do to live off the land? Did they have working stoves to cook with? Did they learn to make such things as acorn bread or build hornos to bake it with? Did they barter with each other for their needs? We don't know. The book was written about their defense system, not about day to day living and the extensive organization they had to do to keep the community alive for the winter. Very disappointed. I recommend "Alas, Babylon" for better information of how they solved every day problems. I do think Mr. Gorham is a good writer, but maybe he doesn't know enough about this topic to write about it, so he doesn't. The expectation from the title was that he would.
While I greatly enjoyed and highly recommended the first book I found this one even better. If I remember correctly the first book was the authors first attempt at writings book and it was a commendable effort and well worth the read. Even though I'd highly recommend that you read the first book before reading this one, this book could be read by itself and enjoyed. It is obvious from this book that the writers craft is evolving into something very special to enjoy, if there's a book number three I will be buying it. Enjoy the read.
