<p>In a series of episodes, Atwill writes about three men making a life together in Santa Fe just after WWII. It is a time of hope and change, artists and writers challenging themselves with difficult projects, discovering ways to tell of their experiences in a modern manner. Two of them, just home from the war in Europe, have rebelled against the stodgy, rule-filled Philadelphia world of their parents to make a new place for living and a quiet time to make love and be creative. The circle of friends grows as they make the town their own. Several characters from their past keep following them west, including a former commanding officer from the OSS with intriguing proposals.</p>

Boxwood Press

Atwill is a Santa Fe painter and author of eight other books. He has lived in New Mexico for the last five decades, painting the landscape and motifs from his own gardens in Santa Fe. Over the years he has owned fifty-nine houses of all sizes, restoring the older ones and building the others from the ground up. He comments on each of them, and the many people involved along the way. There is a separate section of his choices when putting a house design together, what makes his houses distinctive from many others. Another section of this book describes the houses he almost owned and the ones he is happy to have avoided. This is a memoir of Atwill's life in Santa Fe, with introductory chapters about how he arrived at this town of artists and writers.
