Images from the Silk Road. A quote from the book that says she explored him like a map to Samarkand, tracing lines through his body as it rose and curved. Another quote from the book that says you must decide what you are going to do and you must do it now. Through your sorrows. These men will not rest for Dawn or Desk, and you have precious little time for grief.

Them: “A dog can’t travel the 4th century Silk Road.”

Me: “This one does…”

Read the novel that led one early reader to ask, “Can camels have two humps? I thought they had one.”
