A breath-taking writer of singular voice' Patrick Flanery, author of Absolution 'I have seen ghosts. They will not rest. The whispers of the past are all around...' Sweeping from the bustling beaches of contemporary Lima to local ceviche bars crammed with fishermen, music and folklore; from the rise and fall of the Inca Empire to a civil war that will devastate a nation, The Dust Never Settles is a love letter to Peru. And running through it all, like the warm smell of orange blossom she remembers from her childhood, is Anaïs, who has returned to the country she loves after seven years abroad. Her beloved grandparents have passed away, and the time has come for her to sell the 'yellow house on the hill'. As Anaïs prepares to say a final goodbye, she is haunted by memories.

The Elon Academy is a non-profit college access and success program hosted at Elon University in Alamance County, North Carolina. It recruits academically-promising high school students with financial need and/or no family history of college in their ninth grade year and offers an intensive multi-year support program. From October 2010 to September 2011, a group of students in the program volunteered for a complex participatory research project examining college access issues in their home county. Acting as both participants and co-researchers, the team spent countless hours training, researching, analyzing, and writing to produce this manuscript. This book is a call to awareness and action for their local community and for communities nationwide that face the hardships of poverty and marginalization. It captures their perspectives on the challenges they face on the road to a college education.
