From Across the Desert

Stories have been told about the ugliness of war, about situations that make people flee home.
From Across the Desert is a story you might think you have heard before, but you haven't.
Drought, death, life in danger and the coldness of existence being a girl growing up amidst harsh
traditions and a hostile environment. This is the story of the desert, not only as a condition but as
a lived experience. The story of culture and fate enduring amidst an adversity whose longevity
has spanned decades. This memoir breaks the imagined rising of dry bones into the
uncomfortable reality of how it happens and clearly shows who holds the responsibility of
breathing life back into them.
