Highways Of Dust

di Samuel Ludke (Autore)

American Poets Inc., 2025

A boy leaves home with no clear destination and discovers that the road has a way of remembering those who walk it long enough. Set against the wide, unforgiving landscapes of the American West, Highways of Dust follows a young man traveling by foot and chance encounters, learning the quiet disciplines of survival, restraint, and responsibility. Along the way, he meets a cast of unforgettable figures—a trucker burdened by what he left behind, a cigarette-smoking drifter who appears when he is needed most, a sharp-witted girl who offers laughter without escape, and a priest who gives sanctuary without asking for belief. As the miles pass, the boy is forced to confront the truths he has been running from: the weight of inherited absence, the cost of leaving, and the uncomfortable fact that growing up does not make life safer—it only makes it honest. When the road finally leads him back to a place he knows too well, he must decide whether understanding his past is enough to let him keep moving forward. Written in spare, lyrical prose, Highways of Dust is a coming-of-age novel about solitude, grace, and the quiet moments that shape a life. It is a story of motion without escape, faith without doctrine, and the long walk toward learning how to carry oneself in a world that does not slow down.
