“Book Descriptions: Set on both sides of the long, lonely border between present-day northern California and Nevada, this collection of ten linked stories reads like a novel. Woven throughout are traditional western themes like gold mining, horses and fire lookouts as well as less traditional ones like opioid abuse, computer hacking and college admissions fraud. Joining a cast of characters who don't necessarily like each other, but who come to need, and even to love each other, you'll visit a world you really won't find anywhere else.” DRIVE
