The Sand People

The insightful and intimate stories in THE SAND PEOPLE meander through hope and despair, loss and triumph, and the distance between longing and belonging. The Wedding explores the love of a man for an unusually silent woman. In The Sand People, a down-on-his-luck salesman is saved by a marching column of ants. Mermaids, refugees, lost children, and a man returning to the land of his ancestors blur the lines of otherwise ordinary lives by reaching into otherworldly spaces to explore the everyday struggles of identity, loss, and the aching desires of our hearts.

Heavily steeped in Africa's feral heat, THE SAND PEOPLE ventures beyond the continent's frontiers into a world where the landscape differs, but our common humanity transcends cultural differences.
