Black Noon: A Short Historical Romance of the 1935 Dust Bowl “Black Sunday” (American Ashes #17)
Gordon J. MacKenzie
Oklahoma Panhandle, April 14, 1935. Noon goes dark. Lydia, a postmistress who keeps heads counted, and Hank, a USDA field agent with maps and stubborn hope, rope neighbors through the black blizzard, wet towels for breath, and plan for tomorrow—contour plowing, stubble left, shelterbelts planted. Inspired by the real Black Sunday storm and the Dust Bowl reforms, this one-sitting love story lands on earned hope and the long work of keeping soil—and people—home.
Includes a Historical Note and an Author’s Note. Reading ~25–30 minutes. Clean/slow-burn; rich period detail.
