Descripción del artículo del vendedor

'Stories about family, legacy, marriage, divorce, religion, all of them played out in relentless weather and under an all-encompassing sky.These female writers come from a storied place most often described from the perspective of the men credited with shaping it.This collection adds insightful dimension to a surprisingly inspiring place' - ""Fort Worth Star-Telegram"". 'A moving and engaging collection of short stories often set in demanding rural conditions.We learn how the seemingly blank, barren expanse that is West Texas is really a landscape of sublime and subtle opulence.Beyond survival, anything hardy enough to endure here doesn't merely exist, but thrives and flourishes. The stories these women have to tell prove exactly that' - ""El Paso Times"". 'The fullness of regional life is so engagingly chronicled here that you may never again think of West Texas without understanding the passions inspired by this seemingly empty land.The women featured in this collection.focus on contrasts between the young and old, the East and West, the wet and the dry, the new and the old social norms.This collection adds insightful dimension to a surprisingly inspiring place' - ""Philadelphia Inquirer"".

The writing illustrates the diversity, not only of the women selected for this anthology, but of the region itself' - Glenn Dromgoole, ""Lubbock Avalanche-Journal"". The vast, disparate region called West Texas is both sparsely populated and scarcely recognized. Yet it has given voice to a surprising number of women writers who have left more than a faint impression on its hardscrabble terrain and consciousness. These writers do much more than evoke the land and its celebrated skies. Often with humor and always with empathy, they manage to peg nearly every West Texas experience, including how West Texans respond to hardships, blessings, friendships, loneliness, tragedy, and yes, even sandstorms. The short stories and essays in this collection, through a strong emphasis on individual triumphs and failures, remind West Texans of their heritage and share with all readers an understanding of what it means to live in the endless space these authors know so well. 'West Texas latitude inspires its occupants to make new beginnings, to exp.…
