Genre: Historical Fiction
Page Count: 274

Book Description:
Rooted in the history of Mongolia’s Buddhist monks, Pearls in the Ashes is the story of Dash, a young herder who has, at his father’s insistence, entered the Khovor Khan monastery to formalize his education and to escape the crushing poverty of nomadic life. But accepting his father’s will proves far easier than letting go of his own earthly desires. Dash’s already tentative commitment to the lama’s Path is sorely tested when the People’s Party destroys his monastery as part of a violent offensive against Buddhism. As the sole survivor of the bloody purge, Dash must now reconcile his traditional Buddhist upbringing with Communist rule in order to find his way in a suddenly secular country that is itself struggling with modernization. Pearls in the Ashes is an inspired, original story that chronicles a half-century test of the power of faith, and of the human heart’s ability to survive amidst the terror of political repression.

I would be interested in reading Pearls in the Ashes, if it is still available for review. I prefer it in epub, although pdf is fine, too. My email is mkayschmitt@gmail.com.
