The Wind Blows in Sleeping Grass
The Wind Blows in Sleeping Grass | Katie Powner
1 post | 1 read
For the first time in his life, Pete has everything to lose. After years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass--a place he never expected to see again. It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him. Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. "Katie Powner brings both humor and heft to the page as she celebrates simple pleasures and not-so-simple love."--JULIE CANTRELL, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Perennials

Welcome to Sleeping Grass, a small town where the characters are flawed and so very real. Through deepening friendships and family ties, each character discovered new sources of hope. The hope infused courage, strength and confidence into their lives and relationships. Pete had been taught to love words. After reading this well written book, it is obvious to me that the author truly loves words. Well done!
