"The heart in these stories beats out of its chest.... " --BRADEN HEPNER
From security guards and jack rabbits to bartenders and blue herons, the desert-dwellers in The Talker surface with grit and grace from dust-blown trailers and ancient Joshua trees. With her signature down-to-earth storytelling style and uniquely empathetic eye, Sojourner writes a community seeking refuge, truth, and escape within the desert glare of the Mojave.
