Description: "These eleven lyrical and quietly powerful stories bring to life the secrets of the town of Mesquite.".

"In "Even in Heaven" a now prosperous woman who had entered the country illegally decades before watches the border with binoculars and reports unlawful crossing - but what she really sees is a new way of looking at her past. In another story, a woman about to run off with her lover is confronted by her husband, suspicious because she has moved a certain picture on the wall.

In a third, two young brothers infatuated with the same self-possessed girl adopt different attitudes, to sweet and shocking results."--BOOK JACKET.
