Panamint Sands
The author, Panamint Sands, lives in the incredibly beautiful land of the Joshua tree inside the Mojave Desert National Preserves in California. She has worked with the young people in the terrain stretching several decades. She spent her childhood years and her youth in her ancestral village, which is also a small university town. This is where she went to school, was married, started her family, and began her journey as a writer. She still maintains her ties with her roots in the old world.
