OTHER DESERT CITIES is the story of a once promising novelist - Brooke Wyeth - who returns home after a six year absence to celebrate Christmas in Palm Springs with her parents, former leading Republicans, and her eccentric liberal aunt. When the novelist announces she is about to publish a memoir focusing on an explosive chapter in the family's history, the holiday reunion is thrown into turmoil as the family struggles to come to terms with their past. In the Wyeth family, secrets are everything. You'll be on The Edge of your seat as their family mystery unfolds.
