They gathered together in the solemn act of scattering the remains of Betty Dunn wife, mother, and grandmother. For each person in attendance it brought about a rite of passage. For Bobbi, it was an acknowledgment that her mother's death severed the link to her heritage. She yearned to give her mother a place to rest, a place that gave her roots-a home.

Sam, on the other hand, saw this act as his final obligation to his second wife. He had made true to his promises and now had a new lease on life. Or so he thought.

By strange design, a unique cast of characters becomes absorbed in a bizarre journey. A mix-up at the funeral home sends Sam and Bobbi on a trail that leads them to J.W. Dean, snake-handling traveling evangelist. The future hinges on this man whose faith and passion grates at Sam's stony facade and strikes a chord of sincerity in Bobbi.

In a stunning tapestry of adventure, mystery, and humor, Ashes On the Wind brings about the realization that God's presence is a very real, very tangible element in the place we call home.
