Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.<P>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.<P>In "Shared Fencelines, " Linda Hussa reveals the mystery of horses, the gift of water, and the serendipity of love.

Book News Annotation:

An ex-geologist school teacher/rancher, a biographer and poet, and a painter and illustrator have in common their environmental concerns, abodes along the Nevada-California border, and their feminine gender. Each presents a narrative reflecting on experiences in the Great Basin, thus contributing to the literature about the rural West, and women's experiences in particular.
