"Big Brother goes stark raving mad in Harvesting Ashwood, Cynthia Kraack's engrossing drama about family love versus an unfeeling bureaucracy. The author paints a dystopian future that's scary as hell. It makes Ayn Rand's Anthem and Jack London's The Iron Heel look like a day at the beach." -- David Housewright, Edgar Award winning author of Curse of the Jade Lily
