Desert Dreams
Available in paperback and ebook formats
Desert Dreams is a fully illustrated poetry collection centering around themes of healing, self-love, acceptance, and resilience. Through the use of rich desert imagery and metaphorical storytelling, readers are taken on a unique journey that is broken into three sections that align with the life cycle of a cactus. Written and illustrated by Debbie Argüelles Radford, Desert Dreams aims for readers to feel validated and affirmed that they matter, their dreams matter, and both are worthy of love.
