Query: Hippies, New Mexico, getting older...who could ask for more?

I wish I could say that my life was entirely linear...focused and directed, easily understood and appreciated by all I come into contact with...but it isn't always that way. This is a good book and a good story...not always moving in a straight line like some of the books I've read...but moving somewhere and noticing along the way some of the things we might have missed while we demanded a story that felt familiar. Whether this book is as good as her books on writing is kind of irrelevant...it stands on its own and deserves a place in my world, at least. Thankyou, Natalie. More, please. Long Quiet Highway is a great book, too...check it out.
