The Sahara, with its harsh emptiness, is a place that even Ovid in his Metamorphoses harnessed symbol to describe. Images-or perhaps mirages-of endless wind-swept ergs, an oftentimes murderous sun, and vast stretches of rock-strewn hamada perversely tantalize the imagination. Bordered to the north by the Atlas Mountains, the Great Desert is also home to the indigenous Berbers and their camels, making this wilderness as much a sanctuary of the human spirit as a wasteland. These three short stories relate the young American Dylan's journey across the Moroccan wasteland before sharing the legend of a Berber girl, Maryam, whom he encounters. $1 from the sale of each book will be donated to the Peace Corps Partnership Program to continue to extend U.S. friendship across the world.

Jeffrey William Aubuchon returned to Oakmont Regional High School in 2011, thirteen years after graduating. Beyond directing theatre and teaching history, he advises the student group apush4peace that raises thousands of dollars for Peace Corps projects worldwide. When not enjoying the forests of Massachusetts, he wanders among the Joshua trees of California's Mojave Desert. He studied in the liberal arts tradition with the Benedictine monks and faculty of Saint Anselm College, where he graduated magna cum laude, and later earned a master's degree from the creative writing faculty at Harvard University.
