The Wind Blows in Sleeping Grass

Author: Katie Powner

This quiet, character-rich novel follows wounded people whose lives intersect in ways none of them expected, drawing them back toward a place—and a truth—they have been avoiding. Long-buried disappointments, family fractures, and the ache of loneliness shape every decision, yet the story moves with deep compassion rather than melodrama. Powner builds a world where grief lingers in the ordinary and healing comes slowly, through honesty, kindness, and the courage to stay present.

At its heart, the novel is about how God meets people in places that look dry, forgotten, or beyond repair. Readers who love reflective stories about broken families, quiet redemption, and faith growing through everyday hardship will find this one especially moving.
