"Paper Dolls-so fragile, yet so enduring. A little tape and they will last forever." A memoir about three generations of women. A deaf mute grandmother who lived on the verge of reality. A drunken and abusive mother who blamed the world for her life. A story of four young girls, living in a world of uncertainty, fear and abuse, who pulled together to survive. I started this book as a way to put on paper the little information I could remember about my mother, who had recently passed away. I wanted to remember the stories she shared, her experiences with her mother and her own children, and why she did the things she did. What I found, in the end, was a discovery of myself. A brief excerpt: I stood for several minutes, my eyes adjusting to the darkness. The smell was always the same: stale beer and overflowing ashtrays. I quickly looked to find her sitting in her favorite seat at the bar, the same people on either side of her, the same music playing on the jukebox. My sisters and I took turns when we had to get Mom from the bar. It was my turn; it was only fair. We had been sitting in the car for hours with nothing to eat and nothing to drink. She promised she would only be a minute. She promised.

Writing with verve and clarity, Mary Hill tells the story of the magnificent Sierra Nevada-the longest, highest, and most spectacular mountain range in the contiguous United States. Hill takes us from the time before the land which would be California even existed, through the days of roaring volcanoes, violent earthquakes, and chilling ice sheets, to the more recent history of the Sierra's early explorers and the generations of adventuresome souls who followed. The author introduces the rocks of the Sierra Nevada, which tell the mountains' tale, and explains how nature's forces, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, faulting, erosion, and glaciation formed the range's world-renowned scenery and mineral wealth, including gold. For thirty years, the first edition of Geology of the Sierra Nevada has been the definitive guide to the Sierra Nevada's geological history for nature lovers, travelers, hikers, campers, and armchair explorers. This new edition offers new chapters and sidebars and incorporates the concept of plate tectonics throughout the text. * Written in easy-to-understand language for a wide audience. * Gives detailed information on where to view outstanding Sierra Nevada geology in some of the world's most beloved natural treasures and national parks, including Yosemite. * Provides specific information on places to see glaciers and glacial deposits, caves, and exhibits of gold mines and mining equipment, many from Gold Rush times. * Superbly illustrated with 117 new color illustrations, 16 halftones, 39 line illustrations, and 12 maps, and also features an easy-to-use, interactive key for identifying rocks and a glossary of geological terms.
