New York: HarperPerennial, (1994.). SIGNED - Author's first novel, set in the dwindling canyonlands of Southern California. Praise from Barbara Kingsolver (who said 'Hank & Chloe are as star-crossed as Romeo and JulietÑbut sexier, and frankly, a lot more fun. This is a love story with a salsa bite and a winning heart.') and Maxine Kumin (who called it 'a wonderful salacious read.') among others. SIGNED on the title page. 310 pp. ISBN: 0-06-0924640.
