Product Description
Reeling from her recent multiple sclerosis diagnosis and hospitalization, Anne Westcott is determined to ignore her illness. Instead of choosing a pleasant conduit back to good health, she volunteers at a New Mexico retreat center on a mountain where she feels she is living on the edge of the wild. Her two years are like a suspension bridge hung across a stream as she explores spectacular high desert and colorful native culture.

Anne takes the reader on a fascinating journey of discovery through backwater adventures accented by rain songs, pow wows and Mudheads. The dynamic beauty of the continental divide adds a backdrop of reality and assures Anne her incredulous experiences were not just unsound thinking but actual events.

Throughout her stay she questions why there is such a strong spiritual fullness in New Mexico and considers a large part is due to the presence of the Indian’s humble way of life and the mystical bonds of the natural beauty.
