Marna can not wait to escape her West Texas prison of flatness. Made to work day after day in her aunt's puny flower shop, she instead dreams of big accomplishments far from Lubbock. With eyes to the skies, her mind is always on the future. Yet in finally breaking away, her impulsive spirit sends her into a spiral of regrets… before the tragedy of a tornado draws her back to rediscover her purpose in life.
Marna is a story of ambition, loneliness, and amazing resiliency. The novel, in seven parts, explores the tension between staying true to both one's dreams and one's responsibilities. In being deathly allergic to stings, Marna's pursuit of significance at all costs results in encounters with seven wasps that unknowingly guide her at critical moments in her life, culminating in her ultimate sacrifice of faithfulness.
