DESERT OF DREAMS SERIES
A young adult coming-of-age series of standalone books with connected characters.
During the 1980s and 90s, kids find themselves stuck in a remote desert town, a land of Joshua trees, dust devils, and tumbleweeds. Their parents call it affordable housing; they call it hell.
As teens, this unlikely group of friends band together to survive the harsh conditions of their destructive home lives and the isolation of the desert. They support each other’s dreams of a better life, but the world isn’t always on their side. They learn it’s the hard choices they make in life that determine who they will become and what they might have to leave behind.
