Political Animal Publishing Incorporated, Apr 22, 2020 - Fiction - 342 pages

Mother of Floods is set in our world; ravaged by greed and technology it has seemingly spun beyond human control. The story starts with Martha and Dave, her (reluctantly) dead husband who has chosen a digital universe as his hereafter. Together they embark on a journey to heal their troubled family, which includes overcoming mountains of debt and supporting an anorexic daughter and a gamer son. By questioning what life actually means in a world of 24/7 self-sustaining algorithms, Mother of Floods challenges us to reimagine our own lives, drawing inspiration from a framework provided by some of humanity's very earliest stories.

About the author (2020)

Madeleine F White was born in Germany, with roots in Canada and the UK. Her 25 year career has spanned journalism, teaching, educational technology and publishing. As a publisher she has created national and international web and print magazines aimed at creating a voice for those without one. A notable example of this is the successful Nina-Iraq, a project that she worked on with the World Bank to reach out to Iraqi women everywhere. These days, Madeleine is a ?storyteller? consultant, working with educational technology companies and international development partners to connect diverse cultural, geographical and digital communities. Her debut novel, Mother of Floods, has been inspired by the growing belief that fiction is often more powerful than factual journalism in opening us up to truth. Madeleine is married with three children and lives in Broadstairs, a small coastal town in England.
