He can bring her back to life, he says, if she’ll join his tribe in the desert, and become his fourteenth wife …An astonishing true story set against the backdrop of the AIDS pandemic and the hedonism of the ecstasy era, Kelly Alder’s debut is also a timeless chronicle of one woman’s search for belonging.
