Not yet published
Expected 24 Jul 25Robert Davis, a prideful man with a fiery temper, has been taking care of his family and their farm since long before the onset of the Great Depression. But when the once-fertile land of Guymon begins blowing away, Robert knows he has to lighten his burden somehow. Desperate, he tries to marry his sister off to the son of one of the most fortunate families in town.
Henry Sherwood, a bashful shop clerk in the town’s largest corner store, has had eyes for Robert ever since he and his family first moved to the Oklahoma panhandle. Despite his proclivities, Henry agrees to marry Robert’s sister, if only so that he might please his parents. But once the reality of his upcoming nuptials sets in, he realizes that he can’t follow through.
After Henry calls off the wedding, Robert heads into town to beat some sense into the man. But when a black blizzard rolls through, the men are forced to seek shelter together. During the storm, the two strike up a friendship, and over the coming weeks, it transforms into something more.
As Robert and Henry's relationship blossoms, their life in Oklahoma continues to wither. Together, they make a plan to leave for California. But in order for them to thrive out west, Robert will have to learn to let other people care for him, while Henry must find the courage to fight for their future.
Set in 1935, Resilience on Canvas is a heartfelt MM historical romance that explores the importance of family and friendship, the power in finding one’s inner strength, and the endurance of the human spirit.

Logan Sage Adams really tapped into something with this book. Not only did they choose one of the most evocative settings I can imagine, they also managed to pair it with deep, complex characters, and a romance that has you rooting for these guys like you've never rooted for anyone before.
The Great Depression is in full swing and Robert Davis also has to put up with his farm (and the whole state) turning into a barren wasteland, where basic survival is harder every day. And, to top it all off, goddamned Henry Sherwood refuses to marry his sister and won't tell him why.
Robert and Henry's story is more timely than ever now, as for more and more of us, life starts to look a lot like it was during the Great Depression. It's becoming a scary world out there, and that's exactly why the message of this book hits even better.
There's everything you need for a swoony romance: running away from devastating dust storms, fighting for survival, and a love that's forbidden but impossible to suppress.
Thank you to Logan Sage Adams for letting me read this book extra early.

I’m honestly not a crier but Henry and Robert but�.
I cried my eyes out, there’s something about the way Logan Sage Adams writes that’s so beautiful, melancholic and special. I did read this in two sittings cause I couldn’t put it down.
I think this is the authors best work to date. It was so good, my heart ached for poor Robert and his family but I’m so happy he found in Henry the strength he needed.
