"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.

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.
