Death Valley - Melissa Broder

 A woman with a chronically I'll husband is losing her father in the ICU and escapes to a Best Western in the desert to sort out her emotions.  This is the beginning of a strange tale of dealing with overwhelming grief, loss, and sadness.  She wanders in the desert and seeks comfort and answers from nature - a Saguaro cactus, rocks, and rabbits.  

I picked this up at The Tattered Cover bookstore in the Denver airport as the reviews said it was funny and would make me laugh.  Hardly.
