Set in the parched heart of 1936 Texas Hill Country, "The Land Remembers" is a powerful tale of resilience, legacy, and survival. Elara "Ellie" Mae Dawson, a young woman tied deeply to her family's lavender farm and the ancient wisdom of her German immigrant grandmother, must battle the devastating effects of the Dust Bowl and a stranger's tempting offer of salvation that may come at too great a cost.

As dust storms choke the land and economic hardship threatens everything her family built, Ellie refuses to surrender. Guided by her grandmother's teachings and her own growing connection to the wild, native plants that thrive where lavender fails, Ellie unearths the strength and secrets buried in the soil.

Beautifully written and hauntingly relevant, this historical novel is a tribute to the quiet power of tradition, the strength of women, and the eternal dialogue between humanity and the land it calls home.
