Someday Comes Paradise

Someday Comes Paradise

Kat Maus
1.8/5 ( ratings)
A desolate stretch of coastline. Dune grass scattered across miles of sand. Rusty barrels exposed in the retreating tide, and a lone dune buggy streaks along this coastal road, kicking up mud and slicing through waves of mosquitoes. Up ahead, a flashing signal light swings above a lonely intersection. This is the cross-roads to the middle of nowhere.

Sam Starr is a teenager on the run with his con-woman momma, Natalie. He has maybe done bad; she has definitely done worse. They’ve arrived on a barrier island, cast away from the world where they hope to be safe. But here, crime and corruption are thicker than the Costa Rican coffee and the sand flies. A local hero, Bannion, offers his protection and a home to mother and son; yet, all is not what it seems. The vagabond fry-cook, Gash, tries to guide the boy like a prophet in the dunes. The saving grace for young Sam comes in the elegance of a Vietnamese girl, Tu Ly – in whom he glimpses tenderness and salvation. Together, they must come of age amidst the drugs and deception. They elude the Navy bombs and free dive for starfish. They cling together in despair in a hideaway as they fall in love. But most of all, they want to find a little bit of Paradise, in this world or even beyond.

A charged, Southern saga, SOMEDAY COMES PARADISE exposes a world rarely seen, where violence mixes with country music while sharks bleed on the boat docks. Danger overshadows dreams. Nothing is black and white. It’s a desperate world inhabited by compelling characters with nothing to lose.

Set on the coast in South Texas, this graphic novel reveals a journey of troubled souls, with hell-fire-and-damnation all about. Yet for Sam, Tu Ly and Natalie, the flame of hope burns hot within their darkness and stands firm against the hurricane winds.
