Dust and Deceit: Book One of The Dust Trilogy

Having eccentric parents is never easy, but keeping their secrets is even harder. Dandra wishes for the enlightened world her parents grew up in, but unfortunately, times have changed, and highly-educated people like her parents are also highly-destitute. As her friends and neighbors stop wanting to better themselves, Layland fills with litter and laziness. When Dandra gets a job at the once beautiful, but now decrepit library, her life gets caught up in a whirlwind of boys, death, and dust.
