Fr. Bryan Houghton's journey reflects profound personal and spiritual transitions, beginning with his conversion from Protestantism to Catholicism. Embracing the priesthood, he dedicated himself to traditional roles of sacrifice and preaching. However, the transformative changes brought by the Second Vatican Council and subsequent liturgical reforms led him to a crisis of faith. Struggling with the alterations to the Mass and the erosion of liturgical tradition, he ultimately resigned and retreated to southern France, where he focused on prayer, the Tridentine Mass, and documenting his experiences in memoirs.

The first original novel from author Hugh Howey in six years, Across the Sand takes us back to the world of Sand, to a far future many generations after a disaster has destroyed civilization as we know it, where four siblings struggle to build their futures amid the harsh wastes of endless desert. ?The old world is buried. A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes, a land of howling wind and infernal sand. In this barren home, siblings Conner, Rob, Palmer and Violet daily carve out a future. They live in the shadow of their father and oldest sister, Vic, two of the greatest sand divers ever to comb the desert's depths. But these branches of their family tree are long gone, disappeared into the wastes beyond, leaving the younger siblings scratching in the dust, hopeful for a better life. On the other side of No Man's Land, Anya was born beside the abundant mines knowing her prospects would be to marry, have a family, and work in ore, in service to the Empire of the East. But when an atomic bomb delivered by a stranger destroys most of her town--murdering all her friends and community--she follows her father to a strange land of dunes to bring vengeance to their enemies.
