Description: The time is the early 1970s. Eight-year-old Kate and her two sisters adopt a life on the road when their divorced and devastated mother falls in love with someone new. Introduced to a lifestyle marked by license and a strange freedom, poker and alcohol, and exposure to sex and drugs, the girls fall into a way of living that is vastly different from the one they knew with their geologist father. And it is with him, amid the beauty of his beloved Grand Canyon, that adult distraction and carelessness finally threaten to explode and ruin Kate's life. Rich in character, imagery, and humor, and providing a vivid picture of a decade when values and mores were turned upside down, Bright Angel Time is that rarity, a brilliant and moving novel from an authentic new talent.
