Every family has its secrets. In Cole Dust, Cole Sage inherits a house and small farm in Oklahoma. A dusty old trunk opens up the world of the grandfather Cole never knew. From pre-World War I America to the late fifties, Cole learns of a man tormented by alcohol, racism, the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression and an addiction to gambling. As he rebuilds the old farm, Cole reads of forty years of triumphs and disgrace and a family history he's never known. Along the way, he discovers a love and pride in the man his parents tried to erase. The last volume of the George Sage's journals unlocks a secret hidden away for fifty years that will change Cole Sage forever.
