Helpful Score: 1

I really enjoyed this book. It starts off with a fairly 'normal' story line. Poet Maggie Smith has been corresponding with Pulitzer-prize winning poet Davis Cooper for years. Despite her continued requests to meet him in person and write his biography the two never met. After Cooper's death Maggie discovers that he has left her his home in the Arizona desert. Maggie travels to his home, hoping to gather enough information to finally write about his life. As she strives to reveal the truth about Cooper's life, mysterious death, and relationship with this long dead artist wife, she embarks on a spritual journey of her own. The ancient mysticism of the desert asserts itself upon her, forcing Maggie to re-examine her own life's path.
