Jacob's Odyssey (Dead Dayz Book 1);

In this zombie apocalypse tale, a perilous journey of survival will soon turn into a quest for redemption...

A terrible virus has struck and the world has deteriorated into chaos. Jake must make his way across the Salt Lake Valley to reach the safety of the mountains, but the infected are everywhere. Jake is haunted by a devastating personal tragedy he can't seem to let go of, and just as he’s about to reach the safety of the mountains, a phone call changes everything. A woman and her child need help, and Jake finally sees an opportunity to redeem himself. But will his helping them put them in harm's way? Jake is being stalked by a brutal and sadistic alpha (by far the most dangerous of the infected). In the end, Jake will have to decide how far he's willing to go to keep them safe and earn the redemption he seeks.
