She spends her days serving drinks to lonely old folks playing the slot machines and her nights trying to escape her bitter past. When she befriends Sarah, a young Native American woman who is hired to cook in the casino coffee shop, her life begins to change. Maggie finds herself falling in love with a memory-haunted Vietnam veteran and warily begins to hope that together they can find peace. Then Sarah is mysteriously murdered, and Sarahs ghost enlists Maggie to accompany her on a quest for the wisdom that she needs in order to move into the next world. The story ranges from smoky casinos into the harsh magnificence of the desert and the reservation where Sarahs people are trying to preserve their culture and find their own place in a modern world that seems to want them to be either shamans or losers. Sojourners characters are compellingly real, and the Mojave setting has rarely been depicted as sensitively or truthfully. This is a memorable story of love, redemption, and solace, told by one of the Wests finest writers.</p>...3508874Going Through Ghosts348484https://www.gandhi.com.mx/going-through-ghosts-9780874178104/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2424750/31ae13c4-1f4e-4842-8adb-9e98ff2afb56.jpg?v=638383957496800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20109780874178104_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9780874178104_<p>Maggie Foltz is a fifty-five-year-old cocktail waitress in a rundown casino in the southern Nevada Mojave Desert.
