Crossing Nevada begins as a family road trip across the Nevada desert. From there, the story continues over decades as a journey depicting the struggle of the family trying to come to grips with disability, death, love, and heartbreak. At various crossroads in his life, the boy, now a young man, returns to Nevada again and again in search of sanctuary, healing, and renewal. Parts of the story are based on true events. Other parts are fiction.

Maintaining the same high standards of the first edition, published in 1973, this new, revised edition is still the most comprehensive one-volume history of a state that was once thought of as "a bridge to somewhere else." In revising, Elliott summarizes the state's economic, political, and social history since 1973 and strengthens a major point he made then: that Nevada's acceptance of liberal marriage and divorce laws and of legalized gambling brought economic stability to a state singularly devoid of stable economic resources. -- from Book Jacket
