LENORE BROOKS is an African-American woman in her early forties who visits the Old Town Oakland farmers' market on Friday afternoons. Though she is married to JAMEY LAMONTE, who is a very successful realtor, she finds herself drawn to MANGROVE WINGFEATHER, who she has noticed at the market for several weeks. Lenore dabbles at painting and Mangrove sets up exhibits at the Oakland museum. After Jamey invades Lenore's "artistic space," Lenore leaves home and accepts Mangrove's invitation to accompany him to the Painted Desert on a business trip. Overshadowed by a full solar eclipse, their travels bring to light a shocking secret that pulls Lenore in many revealing directions. PAINTED DESERTS will appeal to the audiences of THE ALCHEMIST by Paulo Coelho; ILLUSIONS by Richard Bach; and THE CELESTINE PROPHECY by James Redfield.

From 1909 until the late 1920s, the Wetherill-Colville Guest Ranch in Kayenta, Arizona, was the primary stopover for writers, geologists, archeologists, adventurers, and tourists visiting Monument Valley and the Tsegi Canyon ruins. The artists who visited Kayenta during the early twentieth century included some of the most well known names in the American Southwest. See their paintings, illustrations, and photos of this beloved Southwest region. In addition, you will find full page guest registry entries illustrated by artists such as Maynard Dixon, William Robinson Leigh, James Swinnerton, Carl Oscar Borg, and Gunnar Widforss. The guest book serves as the archival record of those hardy individuals who ventured to the place that was, according to Dixon, "a long ways from anywhere, in any direction." Using over 390 enthralling illustrations and engaging text, this book explores the similarities and differences in the lives, artistic styles, and beliefs of the men and women who considered northern Arizona their favorite region.
