Based on true events, Hannah Assadi's fierce and raging debut book tracks the shattered, lighted psyche of a woman seizing her own adulthood. Ahlam, the child of the Palestinian refugee and his Israeli wife, grows up in the arid lands of desert suburbia beyond Phoenix. In the stark landscaping where coyotes prowl and strange lights occasionally pass through the nighttime sky, Ahlam's thoughts reigns. She battles persistent fever dreams and isolation. When she fits her tempestuous counterpart Laura, the two fall under infatuated partnership, experimenting with drugs and sex and enjoying helplessly as a series of mysterious deaths assert senior high school classmates. The girls flee their pasts for New York City, but as their psychological bond heightens, the intensity of these lives becomes unbearable. In search of love, ecstasy, oblivion, and belonging, Ahlam and Laura's drive to outrun the spirits of home threatens to undo them entirely.
