The American South, 1881.

18 years after a comet strikes North Africa, triggering world-wide earthquakes, tsunamis, and global mass extinction, the planet is still covered in dust and darkness, and the tattered remnants of humanity struggle to survive. In the midst of the southern wastelands, Eudora Becker, the young daughter of the powerful governor of Memphis, finds a treasure that shouldn't exist: a stack of newly printed paper money from the Republic of California. Overwhelmed by a sudden, impulsive greed, she steals the money and sets in motion events that will have far-reaching consequences.

Now on the run for her life, Eudora is pursued across the barren lands by a group of bounty hunters who are eager to find the girl and take the money for themselves. Cornelius "Conny" White, a Bedouin from the Holy Land who calls himself Farhad, former slave Nikki Free, and the enigmatic Comanche exile Crowkiller track her all the way to Sorrow Draw, a dark town on the edge of the wastelands with a sinister secret.

In his award-winning debut novel, Tim Brumbaugh reimagines the 19th century American frontier as a desolate post-apocalyptic wasteland. Sorrow Draw is a multi-POV tale of desperation and redemption that explores both the brutality and the compassion of the human race.
