| Description: |
Describes the epic journey the author undertook in 1923, when she left her East Coast home at the age of fifty-five to travel through the south western United States, the area where she lived as a child and where she would later retire. This book gives an account of a woman coming full circle, finding solace in the broad landscape of her youth. |
| Synopsis: |
With its indigenous peoples, whose life patterns and art forms reflected a long intimacy with the land, its permeable borderlands, its multiple languages and traditions, its long and complicated history of encounters between diverse peoples, its unique landscape and ecology, the Southwest offered, in Austin's view, a model for the future. |
