On Ships in the Desert:

“Informative, impassioned, and urgent… a clarion call to protect and treasure the ‘grain of gold’ in ‘every drop of water,’ to honor our collective humanity, and to acknowledge the grievous losses and courageous hopes that bind us.”

KIM BARNES,

Pulitzer Prize Finalist, author of In the Wilderness: Coming of Age in Unknown Country
