A haunting tale of loss, love and loyalty. Ben Jones is a truck driver who delivers anything a person can need to live in the desert. He delivers to people who live in the middle of nowhere, where nothing ever happens, the desert controls your every move, and people have powerful secrets. Ben himself is a keeper of secrets. During one of his deliveries Ben stumbles across a woman living in an abandoned housing project. Who is this woman and how did she come to reside in the desert, people don't just show up here? These questions lead Ben on a mystery that brings him closer to who he is and what he wants out of life. A wonderful slow moving tale that quickly gripped me and whose characters are wonderfully flawed.
