History and fiction are blended in the pages of this three-part story about artists in northern Arizona. In Part I a New York painter who has learned that she is tubercular travels west to Flagstaff in 1921, hoping for a cure. She finds a raw little town "too droll for words," but as she comes to know a few people (fictional) and know f oth (historic), she becomes involved in a life very different from that of the city she has known. Told in the style of popular fiction of the 1920s, the story takes her through twenty months of Flagstaff history. Part II is a biography of artist Lillian Wilheim Smith (1882-1972), who rode to Rainbow Bridge with Zane Grey and John Wetherill in 1913. For the following sixty years, the rest of her life, she traveled through the open miles of Arizona, painting its landscape and meeting people of all kinds. 1996, the grand-daughters and great-grand-daughters of the fictional women who were in Flagstaff in 1921 are working for the Coconino National Forest as patrol, law enforcement, lookout. Through their memories the lives of women seventy-five years earlier are carried on. A homicide tests the late twentieth-century women and turns their lives in new directions. The story goes on, unresolved, into the future, as stories do. Life and death, love and connections-Time-are the themes that unify the three sections ~from back cover
