When her father descends into madness, Verity Pruitt and her little sister Lilah find themselves uprooted from New York, on an orphan train to rural Arkansas.
if only they can survive the nightmare-like terrors that arise when the sun goes down.įresh off of Anger Is a Gift's smashing success, Oshiro branches out into a fantastical direction with their new YA novel, Each of Us a Desert. But when the two set out on a magical journey across the desert, they find their hearts could be a match. One night, Xo's wish is granted-in the form of Emilia, the cold and beautiful daughter of the town's murderous conqueror.
Her one desire: to share her heart with a kindred spirit. Her only companions are the blessed stars above and enigmatic lines of poetry magically strewn across dusty dunes. Xochitl is destined to wander the desert alone, speaking her troubled village's stories into its arid winds. From award-winning author Mark Oshiro comes a powerful coming-of-age fantasy novel about finding home and falling in love amidst the dangers of a desert where stories come to life.
