Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good. Pictorial Soft Cover. Flat signed by author directly below her name on title page. The true story of how a newly married couple, somewhat along in years, attempt to adapt themselves to the surprises of life in an almost uninhabited New Mexico ghost town called Mogollon. Husband and wife try to figure out each other as well as the character of their chosen home. The author explores her private responses to things--humorous or serious or quirky--and to the wonderful idiosyncrasies of the neighbors. The book offers a woman's often comic, sometimes moving, perceptions about a town she felt was "a man's place" and about a man and a woman who lived there. Before moving to New Mexico, Thompson taught for many years at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. She has published six collections of poetry, including most recently, Letters From Jian Hui. Covers show light wear and soiling, mild bump to front upper corner and top of spine, mild curl at front fore edge. Interior is clean, crisp, tight & bright, other than the author's signature unmarked. [8] 255 pp. Approx. 5.5" x 8.5". A very nice copy. Signed copies of Thompson's works are very scarce.
