About this listen

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.
