- Summary:
- In the Lightly-Populated northwestern corner of Nevada, a former geologist and rural schoolteacher, a published poet and ranch owner, and an artist and environmentalist make for an intriguing -- perhaps even unlikely -- trio of friends. In this evocative collection of personal essays, each offers her voice as a testament to the joys and struggles of creating a home and connecting to the land and the people who live there.
- Carolyn Dufurrena's "The Flying Heart Museum" pays homage to a layered landscape of unique individuals -- not the least of which are her students, searching for themselves in the Nevada wilderness.
- In "Shared Fencelines, " Linda Hussa reveals the mystery of horses, the gift of water, and the serendipity of love.
