Forgotten California

From the southern side of the Mexico/US border, to a Napa Valley that appears to be made up of equal parts grapes, smoke, waste-water, and restaurant lambchops, Hearn Hill takes us to the places hidden within the places that we thought we knew, continually surprising us with unexpected glimpses of beauty, memory, wildfires and-despite everything-seeds of renewal.-Stephanie Barbé Hammer, Author of Pretend Plumber and City Slicker

One of the most extraordinary writers working today, Bonnie Hearn Hill has made a career of writing suspense fiction, but at the heart of that suspense is an insight that always surprises. Now, she's taken the ability to reframe the world and created this collection. Whether writing about pollution, politics, or the forgotten people of California, she is opening us to a richness of insight.-John Brantingham, Author of Life: Orange To Pear
