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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOut along the sun-scorched trail, the narrator encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California.

What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious, and poignant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDeath Valley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is Melissa Broder at her most imaginative, most universal, and finest, and is “a journey unlike any you’ve read before” (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eFriday Black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46724788453542,"sku":"9781668024867","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/4637\/7638\/files\/DeathValley.jpg?v=1751900939","url":"https:\/\/woollybearbooks.com\/products\/death-valley-by-melissa-broder-paperback","provider":"Woolly Bear Books and Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
