Description

When people who have never been to Tucson think about this desert city, visions of dustbowls, brown landscapes, and eggs frying on pavement often come to mind. "Why would anyone ever want to live there?" they might ask. Well, Michelee Morgan Cabot will tell you in her book Dust Devils, Cozy Corners, and Javelinas: A Newcomer's Tale of Tucson. Not only has she found Tucson to be none of those preconceived notions often bandied about by the uninformed, but she's discovered a culturally rich landscape teeming with desert beauty, fascinating opportunities, and great food. Who wouldn't want to live here? So journey along with Michelee as she describes in creative and often hilarious prose some of the wonders of Tucson.
