[From Library Journal] The farming town of Goodlands, North Dakota, has suffered through four years of drought, with one farm after another falling to the auctioneer's gavel. Then a stranger comes to town...a rainmaker...and the stage is set for a confrontation with the subterranean force that is punishing the people of Goodlands for the sins of their ancestors. It starts with small things: a driveway cracks in two, fences are cut --- but soon a dry, dark dust rises from the sere soil of Goodlands and takes possession of first one, then another young woman's will.
[Entertainment Weekly] Moloney intertwines powerful psychological, supernatural, and sexual undercurrents--making Dry Spells an absorbing rainy afternoon read!
