When the pandemic strikes the families on Illinois Street more than the disease threatens them. In this gripping tale of resilience, see how compassion and community emerge victorious.

During the same short 15-minute window of time the families on Illinois Street confront different devastation from the pandemic. Patty's dad loses his job, he's drinking and becoming violent. Patty must run for survival. Mira grapples with the loss of her son from an overdose. Sylvia battles crippling pandemic anxiety, unsure if she'll ever step outside again. Meanwhile, the Walsh family's calm facade is tested when a speeding car races through empty streets toward their daughter.

As the infrastructure is tested to its limits, schools close, hospitals overflow, police confront dire situations, and churches hesitate to gather. Who can the families turn to? Neighbors who hardly know each other must begin to trust one another. Each family grapples with their struggles amidst societal collapse. This is a story of how crises can become a catalyst for profound growth.

Dive into the lives on Illinois Street and discover how, even in the darkest times, hope and connection can shine through. Order Fifteen Minutes on Illinois Street today.

The back of the book features a comprehensive section with reader questions and references documenting the events of the 2020 pandemic.
