Dust Between Us
A Novel by Gary Botkin

War tested his body. Distance tested their love. But silence threatened to destroy it all.

Staff Sergeant Michael Rivers returns from Syria not in a body bag, but not quite whole either. Haunted by loss and scarred by survival, he steps back into a world that feels more foreign than any battlefield he's faced. At home in Ohio, Emily Rivers has fought her own war-raising two children alone while wondering if her husband would ever truly return.

Through fractured letters, unsent confessions, and the quiet spaces between words, Dust Between Us explores what it means to survive not just war, but the fragile, everyday moments that come after. This gripping novel is a story of trauma, resilience, and the enduring power of love in the aftermath of destruction.

Sometimes the longest journey is the one back home.
