Book Excerpt:
Joe
turned and ran back into the gully, but he didn’t get very far. A sudden blast
of wind shoved him to the ground. Flat on his face, he heard the wind whistling
and screeching past his ears. When he lifted his head, he couldn’t see the
pregnant girl anymore. All the dust whirled and whipped into a blinding black
blizzard. He thought for sure she’d gotten snatched up in the dust storm. The
wind lashed at his face. He went to call out to her, but he didn’t know what to
say because he didn’t know her name. And even if he did, his voice would’ve
gotten lost in the snarling wind. Nevertheless, he had to find her.
