A raw and honest journey of addiction, love, trauma, and redemptiongrounded in a deep love of place and all things mustang.

As Wilder moves from heroin to horses, we see a substantive journey of recovery and strengthand ultimately, of resilience. LAURA PRITCHETT, author of Stars Go Blue
For too long, the lone cowboy myth has corralled the American West in the barbed wires of dominion and destruction. Tangled in that telling are women and mustangstheir wildness, togetherness, and vulnerability. In Desert Chrome, Wilder bucks against a story as desiccated as the deserts she has dwelled inkicking hard enough to free what was bound, to redeem what was broken. Listen now, to the thundering of hearts and hooves. Theyre coming for us, at last. AMY IRVINE, author of Air Mail and Desert Cabal
Desert Chrome journeys through parched valleys, on wild rivers, and into deep rock canyons on a unique quest. In this authentic, hard-won account of her life, Wilder finds the warm, true hearts shes been seeking and that deserve our humanity, healing, and a hell of a lot better future than theyve been dealt. Theres a quiet heroine at the center of this story, yes, pointing toward a beautiful world. It can be ours if well love better, lean closer, and listen to the voices, like Wilders own, well worth heeding from birth. REBECCA LAWTON, author of The Oasis This Time
A powerful coming-of-age story, into the age of a womans strongest power, when, with complete awareness of her past, she can, with might and strength, will the future before her. Wilder writes with all the love, wisdom, and courage it takes to make positive changes for the western landscape, horses, and readers. CMARIE FUHRMAN, author of Camped Beneath the Dam
