Secrets in the Desert

About the Book

“Secrets in the Desert” is a story within a story. The story teller, Dr. Fred Hanesworthy, is a professor of anthropology, who lives a simple, ordinary life teaching at a Midwestern university, until he crosses paths with a fellow instructor who has just returned from a journey of a lifetime. Dr. Devon Livingston, an archaeologist, agrees to share the events of the last year of her life with him in hopes that he might help her write down the transcontinental adventure she has lived. Together they begin to understand that she is on a quest to find and share a secret within, a secret as old as the desert sands. This is a morality tale, full of adventure, wrapped in a love story.
