 d describe these extraordinary vanishing lakes and the people dedicated to
  saving them. \n\nAn exquisite blend of travel writing\, memoir\, and repo
 rtage covering themes from water conservation to queer identity\, Salt Lak
 es is an inspiring call to fight for all that is fragile in our lives.\n\n
