Editorial Reviews

Review
"A magical and beautiful book." -- Denise Chavez

"Insightful essays . . . Those interested in the history and ecology of the region will want to pick it up." -- The New Mexican

Product Description
The Chihuahuan Desert may look worthless to some, but for Tweit it is a source of inspiration. In seven elegant essays, she explores undiscovered facets of this seemingly hostile environment, reflecting on the relationship between the land, history, and people in an underappreciated region.
