Christopher Michael Benoit Silence of the Land

Annotation

Silence of the Land looks at a possible future for humanity through the eyes of three generations of the Hurley family. Silence takes the reader through a journey of hope and discovery several decades after the collapse of civilization due to the complete and utter disregard for basic decency for our fellow human being as well as our land, sea, wildlife, and eventually for ourselves. The price we pay is steep and brings us to the abyss of the end of humanity. Silence of the Land illustrates a possible future but leaves the reader with a sense of hope and optimism that we can learn from the mistakes of the past and use those mistakes to build a future based on a true respect for our fellow human being as well as the world we live in.
