What Blooms From Dust
by James Markert Available Now!
Jeremiah Goodbye is set to meet his fate in the electric
chair, but he is given a second chance at life. With the
flip of a coin he heads back home, Nowhere,
Oklahoma, to settle a
score with his twin brother Josiah. But the world he once knew is nowhere to be found, as he is welcomed by the Dust Bowl. The gift he once relied on to show him the way, is just as unrecognizable as the road leading
home. Along the way Jeremiah accidentally
rescues a young boy, Peter Cotton. As they
set off for their destination, they are
greeted by darkened skies and the darkened hearts of fearful and tired townspeople,
who have let the years of hardship bury them under the dust. Jeremiah and Peter try to protect
the townspeople from themselves,
while Jeremiah has to face the demons and guilt of his past, which has destroyed his family.
I am a sucker for a pretty cover. I had seen this book on
multiple occasions, but I am always wary of
taking a chance on an author I have never heard of before. But, I decided to
give What Blooms From Dust a try and
it did not disappoint. This book is mysterious, mystical, and written in a way
that kept me coming back for more and wanting
to get to know these characters. I enjoy stories
where the author takes an inanimate object, in this case dust, and turns it into a character. The story blooms with
the truth that hope can be found in the darkness and kindness is what makes it
grow. What Blooms From Dust is a
beautiful reminder that no one and nothing is too far gone to experience new
life and second chances. I highly
recommend this read, it surprised me with its heart and beauty.
The publisher provided me with a complimentary copy of
this book through BookLook Blogger, in exchange for my honest review.
