Beschreibung:
Nell, a washed-out executive, falls into an impossible affair and a battle over sacred Native American lands in Twentynine Palms.
"Ever–ascending Sojourner cooks up wrenching sorrow and hilarious banter, environmental and moral conundrums, magnetizing characters, and a place of transcendent beauty in this intoxicating, provocative, and gloriously told desert tale of wildness and community, unexpected bonds and deep legacies, trauma and healing.”
