Marianne Wiggins' final masterwork, an American epic that should stand alongside the classics. Set in the California desert throughout World War II, it follows members of a ranching family and the people that come into their lives throughout the war, including LA watermen, Department of Interior workers, and Japanese-American internees, as they all grapple with love, loss, and an ever-changing American landscape.
