"To read this book is to hold two eternally opposed human forces in your hands: the capacity of groups of men to visit unspeakable horrors on the innocent, and the tenacity of groups of women who bluntly refuse to accept that horror as the final word. Within these pages, Allen has brought together vast landscapes of terror, expansive skies of hope, searing words of truth. Don't look away."--Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine "A valuable work that revolves around a painful period of our history.

"To read this book is to hold two eternally opposed human forces in your hands: the capacity of groups of men to visit unspeakable horrors on the innocent, and the tenacity of groups of women who bluntly refuse to accept that horror as the final word. Within these pages, Allen has brought together vast landscapes of terror, expansive skies of hope, searing words of truth. Don't look away."--Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine "A valuable work that revolves around a painful period of our history. I congratulate Paula Allen on her endeavor to highlight the role of Chilean women, and her contribution to peace, truth and justice, which are values cherished by all of us. This book is an eloquent testimony to the courage of the Chilean women, which was so important for the recovery of our democracy."--Ricardo Lagos, former President of Chile "Paula Allen has literally given a lifetime to this magnificent book. It is epic and humble, dug into the sands of the Atacama Desert--a recording of the shattering beauty and struggle involved in a 40-year pursuit of justice. It is the imagery of the longing for flesh and reasons, a map of the indomitable souls of extraordinary women in search of those they love."--Eve Ensler, playwright and founder of V-Day "Year after year, Paula Allen has returned to Calama to photograph the women searching for their dead while dreaming that they may still be alive. The memories of their loved ones have united them and kept them strong. Allen's camera transmits that message to every corner of the earth. She shows us that the light of memory is still burning brightly."--Patricio Guzmán, documentary film director of Nostalgia for the Light "These lyrical and courageous photographs prove that the power of art can compel us to understand the unrelenting need for justice. Flowers in the Desert invites us to meditate on the meaning of truth and remembrance."--Marjorie Agosín, author of The Light of Desire "Paula Allen's profound commitment to the women of Calama granted her the privilege not only to photograph them as they scoured the desert for their loved ones, but also to share in their anguish and hope. This deep connection is instantly recognizable in the intimacy of this stunning volume. It is a book of memory and history, yes, but ultimately, it is a portrait of strength and perseverance."--Sibylla Brodzinsky, editor of Throwing Stones at the Moon
