Howling Women: A Novel

Sabine Haegan has spent a lifetime desperate to escape her violent past. But when her life in California falls apart, she returns to New Mexico, the state she abandoned more than a decade prior. Searching for salvation in the desert, she meets Howling Woman, a woman who has never surrendered to the brutality of men. Under the spell of the summer sun, a mysterious vortex, and the enigmatic air of Howling Woman, Sabine spirals toward the center of what has haunted her all these years, and a single act of violence unearths everything she’s tried to bury. Now, out on bail and awaiting trial, Sabine feverishly attempts to set the record straight about the man she’s shot and the choices she’s made.

Howling Women is a metafictional confessional about violence, female rage, sex, addiction, and the lengths one woman goes to rewrite a history she never consented to.
