Desert Rain Ryan Fletcher

Using fictional characters and events amidst the backdrop of the American War of Independence, Desert Rain tells different interlocking stories of spiritual survival in a harsh historical landscape and time. One character lies wounded in a field challenged by memory loss, feelings of hopelessness, physical wounds, and a broken heart. Another character has left home to escape the war, social awkwardness, and a harsh childhood in his effort to finally find his route towards a more independent life that he can finally call his own. These two primary characters are later accompanied by equally important secondary characters including soldiers, generals, nomads, and surviving members of the Cherokee and Cheyenne nations. Readers will find Desert Rain a gripping, imaginative, entertaining, and unique read that takes them through creatively envisioned experiences of searching for and discovering meaning in life and in death.
