Desert Years by Cynthia Rich

An expanded edition of the thought-provoking book on living in the desert and aging.

---
Cynthia Rich, shares with us some of her experiences of living on the desert for six years. She describes her trailer community of old people, mostly women who have been given permission for health reasons to live year-round in a desert county park, close to a natural hot spring. From this small enclave come stories told with a thoughtfulness that is like the rarified desert air itself. Cut-off, by choice, from media influences and distractions, she is able to articulate a clear vision for concerned feminists and ecologist, and leaves no doubt that it will take more than dreamers to save our planet.
