Publisher's Description
Water spells life on the high desert: A migrant is found and rescued at the point of death; a village finds its supply failing; a rancher loses his water source in a drunken card game; a developer's reckless plan to build grandiose winter homes arouses a deadly protest; and an end-of-life experience inspires a hapless desert wanderer to find redemption through altruism and forgiveness.

“Friedl, who has hiked many miles near the border, has written a novel with the ‘smell’ of authenticity. The characters come alive and their struggles resonate. A valley named Paradise becomes a cauldron of competing ambitions because of the scarcity of water. A migrant brings a vision of hope and a loner from the North finds purpose as redemption is snatched from tragedy.”
