NOVEL IDEA - "Inter States, A Prospective Novel of 2040," Installment 9

By now, Sanna is long gone, as Honorée discovers to her anger and disappointment.  The pressures have been too much, the temptations of the VNET too available, and her alternative escape route viable. Already precarious,  Hon's economic situation threatens to turn disastrous.  The timing could not be worse.  A history-changing hurricane appears to be bearing down on the Mid-Atlantic region.  Mike and Grandma run the risk of being caught up in it, and have to make unexpected decisions.  They have good company, though.  Daryl, whom we met early in the story, has far less pleasant company.  Meanwhile back in Vermont, we get to know Jake's future inlaws and get a glimpse of successful business in this time of wrenching transition.  We also get to know Mike and Honoreé's little sister, Jenny, as Hurricane Rhiannon approaches.
