Summary

In the heart of Nassau County, NY, young Jay Gardner is a living specter — alive but invisible to those who should love him most.
 
Abandoned by his family, Jay finds solace and education in an unlikely teacher: the television. With each show, song, and dance, he absorbs the world around him, unveiling a prodigious intellect that bridges the divide between humans, animals, and even the departed.
 
Guided by unexpected allies, from compassionate strangers to a sensei with transformative powers, Jay embarks on a journey from neglected child to a man who wears multiple hats: a PhD holder, a celebrated author, and a martial arts master.
 
The first book in G. Miki Hayden's Rebirth series, RESCUED is a story of love, loss, and relentless resilience, and a testament to the enduring human spirit.
Available since: 09/18/2023.

    Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
    KEEPING YOUR WORD: I do not want to speak to you continually upon subjects that tend to show up the weaker traits of character which our race has, but there are some characteristic points in our life so important that it seems to me well that we emphasize those which are specially weak just now.

    With threats of solar flares larger than anything ever recorded looming, everyone on Earth is scrambling to prepare. No one knows how severe the consequences will be. With little to no warning, the massive flares hit, wiping out power grids, frying everything electrical or battery-operated, and burning out most living beings, unless you were lucky enough to be deep underground or inside something that could withstand the unimaginable temperatures. 
    In the end, the Earth has been left in total, absolute darkness.  
     Having rekindled their romance after their failed marriage, Gideon doesn’t want to be apart from D’hani, but she lives in another town. The last time he talked to her, he vowed to come looking for her if/when the big one hits. Because he works for Brodwyn Light and Power, he must stick around to help restore power when the flares pass.  
    Barely escaping death, he leaves to find her, to see if she also managed to survive, but life has been forever changed. Survival is now reduced to scavenging for whatever food and water he can find, and that means only the fittest or smartest will stay alive.  
    But some survivors have been reduced to savages.  
    Has humanity completely turned on itself? It seems there are still a few good ones left, though they are very few and far between. If Gideon can find D’hani, they’re going to search for a place where they can spend the rest of their days, however long that may be.  
    Although it may be the end of the world, their last wish is for them to be together.
