An inspiring-enlightening witty journey through the living d

The book seems to capture the wild aspects of the american fronteer through the eyes and imaginatively ingenious mind of melanie. Not only does she seem to find the life on the desert intent with desire and thwartinng with perspiring energy(which for me, I found myself traveling with her and even tasting her rootbeer). Her journey brought me back to my own spiritual journey through the southwest some time ago, which is why for me, I fell in deep amor with this complex and somewhat transparent realm, the realm of the desert that I do so desire with obsession. If anyone is truely in need of a spiritual awakening, the desert of the southwest is where you need to be, but dont forget this book! It's essential.
