SCI-FI STORYTELLING MEETS SPINAL CORD INJURY



We love a good comeback story—and Thirsty Ground delivers just that, with a twist of intergalactic adventure.
High Fives athlete Ryan St. Lawrence is no stranger to resilience. Now, his story is inspiring readers in a new way—through the imagination of his wife, Kimber St. Lawrence. Her debut novel, Thirsty Ground, is a gripping sci-fi tale that blends survival, space travel, and the raw reality of spinal cord injury.
In the book, a young space traveler crashes on a post-apocalyptic Earth during a mission to retrieve water. After sustaining a paralyzing injury, he must navigate a world that’s both unfamiliar and unforgiving. Think: interplanetary motocross, uncertain terrain, and a powerful exploration of what it means to rediscover purpose when everything changes.
Thirsty Ground invites readers into a world that mirrors parts of our own—where healing isn’t linear, but where grit, love, and courage pave the way forward.
You can find the book in physical and ebook format at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-a-Million, or request it wherever books are sold or borrowed.
