Past Darkness

Fiction

“Ostensibly, Woiwode weaves a tender, slow-burning story of death, grief, and rebirth, but really, it’s her intoxicating love-letter descriptions of a windswept North Dakotan prairie and its inhabitants that will sweep you off your feet. A moving tale about the resilience of family relationships and the power of memory, Past Darkness insists on the goodness of humankind and unravels a tale, brimming with love and hope, to prove it.”
