Description

Katherine is 17, living alone in the beautiful, desolate landscape of southern Arizona.

Her mother is feckless, her father busy with his new family.

Meeting Son, the scion of a local rancher, seems like deliverance.

They marry and live as a family in his parents' venerable adobe house, but it soon becomes clear that Son is a man who, as his father says, has a 'young heart near withered beneath the breastbone.'Katherine must find her own way during a dangerous months-long drought, when everything seems to be disintegrating around her.

Susan Froderberg's incantatory language-and her deep knowledge of both the complexities of a small, deeply-rooted place and the human heart-make OLD BORDER ROAD soar.
