Anya Seton's Foxfire makes the desert Southwest of the Great Depression come alive in all its rich strangeness and passion-filled glory.



Amanda Lawrence, a charming, sheltered New York socialite, falls in love with Jonathan Dartland, a part-Apache mining engineer who belongs to the vastness of the Arizona desert. Amanda responds to his strength and self-reliance, but has nothing and nobody to guide her when she follows him to the grim town of Lodestone.
