Detroit native and author Lisa Schyck returns home for a book signing at Galerie Camille on May 14 from 6-8pm, celebrating her latest release, Glimpses of the Joshua Tree Dream Vol. 2: Women of the Mojave.

The book offers an intimate look at the homes and lives of 16 women shaping creative, independent lives in California’s Mojave Desert. Schyck’s own story informs the work: after earning degrees from Oakland and Central Michigan University and building a successful career in corporate HR, she relocated to Joshua Tree in 2020, embracing a dramatic life reset that sparked a new sense of purpose and community.

During the event, Schyck will share insights into her journey and the stories behind the book, exploring themes of reinvention, resilience, and living authentically. The event is free and open to the public, and guests will have the opportunity to meet the author and purchase signed copies of the book.
