When Brooke Wyeth returns home to celebrate Christmas with her well-connected, conservative family, she arrives with a memoir that threatens to expose a painful chapter from their shared past. What begins as a seemingly festive reunion quickly unravels into a tense and deeply personal confrontation about memory, grief, politics, loyalty, and truth. Filled with sharp wit, emotional depth, and layered characters, Other Desert Cities offers a compelling look at the stories families tell, and the secrets they work hard to protect.
