Book synopsis

The seventies are over. All across America, the overgrown kids of the middle class are getting their acts together and getting older. The once-tight Chicano community of Chamisaville is long gone, and the Anglo powerbrokers control almost everything. Joe Minver -- faithful husband, loving father, and all-around good guy -- is about to sink roots. There's only one hitch: money. To buy the land he works, he embarks on a coke scam that will net him the necessary bread. Joe is also about to embark on a series of erotic adventures with three headstrong women, bringing him face-to-face with the terrors (and absurdity) of the modern man-woman scene. This final volume in the New Mexico trilogy is, like its predecessors, a lusty, visionary novel that blends comedy and tragedy, reality and fantasy, tenderness and bite to illuminate some very troubling truths about America -- truths no less pointed and accurate today than they were twenty years ago.
