Particular Stones by David J Kirk

Particular Stones by David J Kirk

Imagine growing up without family, kept in a dungeon-like orphanage, charged with crimes you didn't commit, while harassed and threatened by bullies. Dan Kelley finds himself in such a place, alone in a society whose over reliance on science and technology has led to the near-extinction of the human race. Dan and his friends face their challenges assuming the tactics of their tormentors, with fists flying. With their backs to the wall, they pull a strategic retreat into the wilderness where things are seen more clearly. Realizing a more rational plan, redemption begins to unfold. Join Dan on his journey down this fractured road as he overcomes obstacles, finds love and compassion, and discovers himself with the help of a phenomenon the world has apparently forgotten about. Are there answers or just a strong wind?
