About The Marfa Blues – searching for treasure:
Vera DeSoto runs a cafe in Marfa, Texas in 1968. The cowboys and truckers who come in fantasize and hope for a chance with her, but she enjoys her solitary life and isn’t ready to settle down with anyone.
Somehow, Vera seems to collect strays along the way—lost and wayward people looking for second chances. A 14-year-old girl, two hippie boys, and a scared young artist manage to find their way into her life and suddenly, Vera is joining them in a search for buried treasure in the badlands of the rugged desert of Southwest Texas at the tail end of the sixties.
Each of them will discover what finding treasure really means.
A classic yarn that’s chock full of surprises, with all the right elements: love and loss, hope and despair, outlaws and drug dealers, giant cloned cows, and the mysterious Marfa Lights. This book has it all…
