  <default_description>When prize-winning poet Davis Cooper died mysteriously in the canyons east of Tucson, Arizona, he left his estate to Maggie Black, a young writer who knew him only from his letters. There, in his desert home, Maggie be-gins a journey of self-discovery that changes her forever, encountering terrible danger and passionate love, coming face to face with the wild spirits that inhabit that strange and magical place. The winner of the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award on its first publication, this enchanting masterwork by a five-time winner of the World Fantasy Award now returns to print alongside the classic urban fantasies of Charles de Lint and Emma Bull.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Picked this up at the library despite the cover.  I have a small obsession with fairy tales and folklore/mythology already, and love finding modern fiction that uses old stories in a new way.<br/>This is sort of a Native American trickster/rebirth story with some magic and spirituality and a love s...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33156663">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Turns out that in addition to being a good enough editor to polish the work of a healthy number of very skilled fantasy writers, Windling can write a good novel herself.  It's been a while since I read this, but I seem to recall the story's subtext about writing/art being a highlight in addition to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2605434">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[For as much as this story reminds me of Charles de Lint's work, I should like it more than I do.  It's not a bad book, it just hasn't really grabbed me by the throat and encouraged me to keep reading.  Then again, maybe I'm just not in the mood for this type of story at the moment.]]></body>
