More Info
A reader would make a serious mistake to conclude that Debi Holmes-Binney's engaging account of her desert sojourn is reading solely reserved for women. It is a book for both genders. This book will touch the soul of anyone who has lived long enough to have realized that life is far more complicated than we were promised, that material rewards become hollow in time, that relationships are fragile, and that permanence in anything is elusive. If approached with an open mind, Desert Sojourn is an immensely fulfilling work that invokes the best of journal-writing traditions. Carefully and beautifully written, Holmes-Binney's text takes the reader into the desert and deep into her thoughts. When she is cold, we are cold; when she is scared, we are too; and, when she is triumphant, we are swept aloft. I found myself deeply moved by this slim volume. Read it for no other reason than it will force you to slow down. It will take you to a place of solitude. It will cause you to think carefully about your life. In the end, what more can one ask from a book?
From Amazon.com
This is an amazing story of a spiritual quest. It will make you laugh and cry and, more, make you admire and feel that you truly know the author. She shares her innermost thoughts and feelings during her solo journey into the desert, as well as the sometimes funny , sometimes terrifying, details of her daily life. This book is both a fast-paced survival adventure and a moving tale of spiritual growth and triumph. I highly recommend it.
