For readers of Barbara Kingsolver and Mary Lawson, a literary novel, set in the desert wilderness of modern-day Arizona, that offers quiet beauty, emotional depth, and an exploration of loss, healing, and the wild places that change us.
After the sudden death of her brother, Corey retreats to a remote ranch in Sedona, Arizona, hoping the silence of the desert can drown out the noise of her grief. But the quiet only deepens her isolation—until a mysterious stray dog appears, pulling her back into the world and forcing her to face what she's been running from.
Set against the stunning red rock canyons, Nomad is a lyrical, emotionally charged debut about trauma, resilience, and the wild grit it takes to heal. As Corey grapples with loss and the ghosts of her past, she's drawn into unexpected relationships that challenge her guarded heart and crack open the possibility of love.
For readers of Prodigal Summer and A Town Called Solace, this is the story of one woman's return to herself through the rhythms of nature, the ache of memory, and the quiet, untamed beauty of connection. It's a tender, tough meditation on the raw path to healing—and the fierce, fragile hope that blooms in its wake.
