She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrow—for both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path discovered on a nearby hike.\n\nOut along the sun-scorched trail, the narrator encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there, with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious, and poignant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42913492271188,"sku":"TBD-FBM-9781668024867","price":14.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/1479\/9188\/files\/71SAgyndWtL._SY522.jpg?v=1770488173","url":"https:\/\/wesavebooks.com\/products\/death-valley-a-novel-1668024861","provider":"We Save Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
