Cabot's first novel "draws deeply, intimately and authentically on the locales of Arizona, Boston, San Francisco, the northern California mountains, Death Valley, and, above all, the high desert of The Mohave. The story is presented in a unique style achieved entirely through the voice of old Will, cowboy, prospector, rancher -- and young Lily, a girl of today's California" (from News of Athennum Publishers promotion).
