They tell me the country looked different back then. They talk of open borders and flowing rivers. They say the world was green. But drought swept across the globe and the United States of the past disappeared under a burning sky. Enora Byrnes lives in the aftermath, a barren world where water has become the global currency. In a life dominated by duty to family and community, Enora is offered a role within an entity that controls everything from water credits to borders.
But it becomes clear that not all is as it seems. From the wasted confines of her small town to the bowels of a hidden city, Enora will uncover buried secrets that hide an unthinkable reality.  As truth reveals the brutal face of what she has become, Enora must decide how far she will go to retain her humanity. 2018 Best Indie Book Award Winner2020 Connecticut Author Project Winner ~What readers are saying~ "Water is the currency and key to survival; and the concept of water rationing gives this story a distinct originality." - Author, Lee Hall "I love this book!

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Kristin Ward

Kristin Ward lives is a small town in Connecticut with her husband, three sons, and numerous furry and feathered friends. As a nature enthusiast, she infuses her stories with environmental themes and encourages her readers to learn about the world in which they live and strive to do their part to leave it a better place for future generations. After the Green Withered is her debut novel. Questions and answers to get to know the author:What inspired you to write this story?I was inspired to write this book while writing a graduate course in environmental education.
As I read numerous topics regarding the history of the earth to the present, I couldn't help but be struck by the incredible responsibility that humans have to the future of our planet. How long have you been writing?My writing aspirations began in 7th grade when my English teacher likened my writing to Saki, the author of The Interlopers. From that point on, I have written numerous poems, not all good, and have begun many stories that I hope to continue to develop and eventually publish.
Did you create your own cover? Is there a special meaning in the images?Yes, I created the cover with the help of Canva. The cover consists of an image of the world that Enora lives in. It is a desolate landscape of dry earth and withered trees and her image overlays this background. The symbol is of my own design and represents the entity that has usurped control. Each element of the design has a specific meaning.
