The author, Lindsay Lerman, and the voices of NPR, Cara Stevens and Chioke I'Anson, collaborated to produce an audiobook that aims to take advantage of the freedom and creativity that vocal performances allow. They layered vocals, included ambient backing tracks, and encouraged experimentation. They created an audiobook that becomes its own entity.

I'm From Nowhere follows Claire as she mourns the sudden death of her husband and comes to terms with the fact of being a woman without a child, a job, a husband, or agency. She confronts a dying planet and an emerging sense of self. Is it possible for a woman to reclaim her life and set its terms without succumbing to suicide or submission?

Claire puts herself in the hands of men—some of her oldest friends—who she imagines have come to save her, as though she were a contemporary Penelope with a raft of suitors and unspent erotic capital. Set in the American Southwest of today or ten years from now, this book is an examination of the stories we are told, and the stories we tell ourselves, about identity, permanence, and love in our beautiful, hostile world.
