Dust and Roses

By: Wes Brummer

Narrated by: Jessica Lynn Gober

Unlike many in Depression-era Kansas, 23-year-old, single Sara McGurk has a comfortable life, but a trip to the doctor reveals she is with child. The results are banishment from home and a violent argument with her lover that leaves her bleeding and abandoned in front of a forbidding limestone house.

A group of social outcasts takes her in. Now, Sara must face the future and protect her child while coping with her strange fellow residents. What will happen to her baby? Can she make peace with her father and escape her shame to find love and hope again?

Historical dust bowl story

When Sarah discovers she’s expecting, her pastor father throws her out of the house.

This was an interesting historical story of a young woman’s story to overcome many challenges faced as an expectant single mom in the Great Depression. With engaging characters and a happy ending, this is worth reading.

Charming story

I enjoyed this book. There were many unexpected turns. Loved the characters. Narration was great.
