Mary Sojourner's novel, 29, is the perfect book to mark the 2nd anniversary of Kip's Desert Book Club on October 3rd at 7pm. This book chronicles a woman's transition from the urban corporate world, to life in the Morongo basin. Along the way it addresses the environmental, spiritual and social issues that will be familiar to all that call the Mojave home.

Deanne Stillman is the author of 4 desert books, each quite different from one another. The first one we will be reading is her true crime book, Twentynine Palms. It's a chronicle of an incredibly disturbing event that occurred in the town of Twentynine Palms in 1991. Much has changed since this horrible event took place, so there should be a lot to talk about.
