Jacob and his family are Amish, and living on on their farm preparing for the winter ahead. Their young daughter has been having visions and can see that things are about to change. Soon planes fall from the skies, and there are rumors that in the outside world things are beginning to fail, with cars, engines, money machines and anything mechanical not working.
Things begin to impact on the family, as people realize that the Amish community has food stored and pressure mounts on Jacob and his family to relinquish some of their supplies.
It made me feel a bit tense at the beginning of the novel, and maybe I expected it to head in a different direction than it did. 4/5

This is an interesting take on a disaster-theme that seems to have been done quite often recently. I don't know if the difference would be enough to carry it through.
