"For all the toll the desert takes of a man it gives compensations. Deep breathes, deep sleep and the communion of the stars."
I came across this quote in "It Happened in Southern California", talking about Mary Austin's difficult life. Thought I'd share.

Re: Land of Little Rain
Thanks, Mike. I've read the book "Land of Little Rain" several times, and I don't know why, but the fact that her personal life, lousy husband, daughter with special needs, came as a surprise. Really hit home. Funny how you make assumptions.
