About Dustria
Sula, a gifted, young surgeon, makes a terrible mistake, and flees to Dustria, a land of monsters and broken things, to punish herself. But she doesn’t really learn from her mistakes until she is presented with a situation where she must choose between confronting her past or continuing down an unexamined path. Dustria is for the questioning reader, examining themes in unrequited love, substance abuse, sexual diversity, and enduring friendships.
It’s set against the backdrop of a constant exploration of the question: Can we redeem ourselves from terrible mistakes made in our younger years or do we, sometimes, need to find alternate ways to frame our lives in order to grow as individuals and forgive ourselves?
