Description:
Green Sands is Kirk's chronicle of her life in the desert, told with exceptional candor and detail. Local Bedouins, foreign farm workers and their families, Saudi royalty, assorted Westerners, and fellow Americans share their desert world with Kirk. Her sincere curiosity, empathy, and warmth toward these new friends make her story entertaining as well as enlightening. There is a freshness to Kirk's perspective that puts the reader squarely in her shoes as she struggles to assimilate a culture so alien to her own and to embrace an adventure that few have the chance to experience. Martha Kirk shows her pioneering Texas spirit in the pages of Green Sands as she gamely kills camel spiders in the house, bravely risks imprisonment while driving the farm's pickup truck, and lovingly shares meals with Bedouin women and their children.
