Lula Westly is alive, but she doesn't really live. The young woman stands at the proverbial crossroads of desire. Stuck in emotional inertia. A wishful thinker who only imagines the destination. Day after day the same four walls surround her. Night after night she dreams about sweet surrender, strange people and places and the desert sky. Then fear gives way to hope. The journey has become her sacrifice. But, she's not alone.
