budding moonflower
amidst the gnarled vines"

About Desert Lily

Desert Lily: Resilience in the Wilderness is an anthology of poems from various authors, reflecting on the experiences of infertility, loss, and hope in God.​  ​A lily flower sprouting in the desert represents the emergence of hope - that abundance can come from loss, that beauty can rise from ashes, and that fruitfulness can bloom from the shedding of our tears and perseverance in our sorrows.

Life's journey can present us with challenges, each one shaping our story in its own way. In this book we offer a glimpse into a uniquely difficult path that 1 in 6 couples walk.

 

Whether you’ve felt the weight of infertility and loss yourself or you’re supporting someone who has, we believe this book will resonate deeply with you.
