Theo Hart is venturing out to the Southwest to escape a difficult past. While soaking in a hot springs tub in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, she befriends several wild and wonderful women. As dreamy days become a dulcet detour, otherworldly events begin to unfurl and Theo wonders: what was it they all saw that night? And why does she feel like she’s being followed?
Tinged with mystery and an homage to the desert and music, with perhaps an alien or two, Dance with the Desert is a quirky, witty, unapologetically woman-centered, often humorous adventure across the Southwest. It is a story of friendship and an examination of truth, reality and the consequences we must navigate on the route to become who we are meant to be.
