The enthralling story of three unforgettable young adults living on the cusp of great change in early 20th-century Mongolia. A captivating, beautiful saga from debut novelist Erin Jamieson about having dreams, finding love, and learning to survive in a harsh, ever-changing place.In the winter of 1917, Bolormaa is introduced to the man she is to marry on her eighteenth birthday, over mutton stew and steaming buuz. She has spent her entire life in the Gobi Desert, living a nomadic life with her family, always moving with their animals in search of grazing lands. Reading about other places in a tent school, she dreamed of another sort of life. But now, her education is finished, and her future seems to be laid out before her like the colorful rugs in the family's ger.Ganbaatar grew up under the vast, blue-gray, Mongolian sky, the protective arm of his mother, and the withering gaze of his father. He has been a good son and a steady hand, working on the land with the herds, often feeling that he was meant for something different-if only he had the courage to reach for it. When Aisin's parents die, she leaves her siblings and everything she knows in China to live with her uncle in Mongolia. She's unprepared for the level of prejudice she'll face because of her heritage, but her bravery and stubbornness form a shield she readily dons. An accomplished horse rider and rare beauty, she works alongside her uncle and forges a path as a single woman during a challenging era.A sweeping novel of historical fiction, Sky of Ashes, Land of Dreams follows these characters through the tumultuous decades following the October Revolution and outbreak of the Russian Civil War, and the Chinese occupation of Mongolia and rise of the Mongolian People's Party, under whose leadership their nomadic way of life undergoes significant changes. Bound together in a unique love triangle that will span their lives, Bolormaa, Ganbaatar, and Aisin face these changes with courage and sometimes, with fear, and their journey of self-discovery and self-determination amidst the challenges and brutalities of life is an extraordinary tale of hope, resilience, and the strength of the human spirit.

2023 is the 25th anniversary of the release of "The Truman Show" movie. If you haven't seen the movie, starring Jim Carrey, go watch it NOW. It just might be the most important movie ever produced. Why? Here's what Aurora Eliam, for Reedsy Discovery, had to say.... Loved it! In the book The Truman Show: It's True, Man!, author Stephen Davis encourages readers to question beliefs and behaviors from an alternate perspective. This is a book for deep thinkers who enjoy exploring alternative avenues of thought abutted by philosophic principles and quantum physics. Throughout the chapters Davis seeks to expand upon the nature of existence, focusing on scientific research. Are we living in a hologram? Are our experiences real, or are they merely an expression of the myriad of possibilities available on this plane of existence? Initially, quantum physics drew me in, and the reference to the 90s film Wunderkid-turned-cultural staple, The Truman Show, solidified the choice. This book explores the movie's themes and the rationality of such a world. I enjoyed the plentiful physics diagrams throughout the book and found them beneficial in making abstract concepts more concrete. The section on the holographic brain model was particularly interesting. Do our brains really know what will happen before conscious thought occurs? I recommend this book to readers with an interest in quantum physics, alternate theories, and philosophy. Also, if you enjoyed the movie The Truman Show and are interested in its broader simulated reality themes, this book provides a judicial exploration of what "reality" really means. Rating: 4 stars * * * And here's what April Pulliam, Assistant Editor, Literary Titan had to say... The Truman Show: It's True, Man!, by Stephen Davis, is a thought-provoking journey into the intricacies of our perceived reality, intertwined with the thematic backdrop of The Truman Show movie. This book elegantly melds quantum physics, neuroscience, and philosophy to challenge our conventional understanding of the world and our actions within it. Drawing inspiration from renowned physicists such as David Bohm, Leonard Susskind, Amit Goswami, and Jacob D. Bekenstein, the narrative opens with a profound question: Are we living in a hologram? The author carefully constructs a foundation for this concept, suggesting that our reality is an illusion, much like the constructed world of Truman Burbank. By paralleling these theories with the cult classic film, Davis skillfully encourages readers to rethink their lives within the context of a carefully orchestrated stage. At its core, the book articulates the idea that our perceptions shape our reality, leading to a powerful hypothesis that our brains project the world "out there" for us to experience. The parallels to The Truman Show are striking, and Davis's work invites readers to scrutinize the authenticity of their daily lives and confront the possibility of there being no "out there" at all. It challenges our perception of reality and the agency we have over our actions, raising intriguing questions about the extent to which external observers may be orchestrating our lives, much like Truman's creators did in the movie. Overall, The Truman Show: It's True, Man! is an engaging book in which readers are asked to question some fundamental understandings of the world around us. This book blurs the line between reality and illusion and compels us to revisit our beliefs about the world, the nature of our actions, and the extent to which external influences may shape our lives. I highly recommend The Truman Show: It's True, Man! for anyone who likes books that feel 'trippy' and make you think about the world around you. Rating: 5 Stars April Pulliam, Assistant Editor, Literary Titan Read more reviews at thetrumanshowistr
The last place Nash wanted to break down was South Mississippi. With his extreme heat sensitivity and one scorching Mississippi summer, he had every intention of passing through the state as quickly as possible. Too bad his bike had other ideas, leaving him stranded on the side of the road in a rather desperate predicament until a tow truck driver happened by and offered him a hand. Jude knew his brother would be pissed at him for being late, but there was no way he could pass by the sun-sick rider and not offer a helping hand. When it turned out fixing the bike wasn't going to be cheap or quick, he and his reluctant brother, Justice found themselves with a houseguest full of sarcastic wit and a bunch of surprises. The last thing Justice thought they needed to do was to lend a helping hand to a stranger when it seemed like their entire world was crashing down, thanks to their uncle Les and a lean Justice hadn't found out about until it was almost too late. But he can't deny that Nash is pleasant to look at, and when the sparks start to fly between them, it's too stunning to turn down. Besides, soon as the bike is fixed, Nash will be riding out of his life forever, so what harm would giving in be? But sweltering beneath the heat of that Mississippi summer sun is a secret just itching to get out, and when it does, it just might change all their lives forever.
