Helpful Score: 1

This book was an unexpected pleasure. It's not about war but about a struggling family (unwed mom with two young kids) who make their home by the Salton Sea. This remote and starkly beautiful outpost in the desert attracts odd characters who bond in unusual ways with surprising results. It's a coming of age but more lyrically written than most and a pure joy to read.
