Slater, Kansas is a small town where not much seems to happen.
Stella dreams of being a space engineer. After Stella's mom dies by suicide and her brother runs off to Red Sun, the local hippie commune, Stella is forced to bring her dreams down to Earth to care for her sister Jill.
Galliard has only ever known life inside Red Sun. There, people accept his tics, his Tourette's. But when he’s denied Red Sun's resident artist role he believed he was destined for, he starts to imagine a life beyond the gates of the compound...
The day Stella and Galliard meet, there is something in the air in their small town. Literally. So begins weeks of pink lightning, blood red rain, unexplained storms... And a countdown clock appears mysteriously above the town hall. With time ticking down to some great, unknowable end they’ll each have to make a choice.
If this is really the end of the world, who do they want to be when they face it?
3 Reasons You Should Read…
The Great Unknowable End by Kathryn Ormsbee
- Tash Hearts Tolstoy is one of our favorite books, so of course we couldn’t wait to get our ::grabby hands:: on Kathryn Ormsbee’s latest title.
- The Great Unknowable End deals with so many issues–Tourette’s, caring for relatives, the loss of a parent, being disappointed–all in an authentic way, and we love that.
- The setting is awesome. All the music references and the 70s music vibe make this worth reading.
