Produktinformationen "The Why Intersection"
When a journalist arrives to investigate the role Why might play in an illegal cross-border adoption ring, she discovers that the desert community hides other secrets. An old bus depot that has been converted into a bar and a dilapidated vegetable warehouse serve as a way station for dispossessed pilgrims. One of those travelers brings deeper scrutiny to Why--and not just from the journalist. The Why Intersection tells the story of a tiny Arizona border town in the mid-1980s grappling with the movement of people across that boundary. It is a town that the often-grumpy residents say lies at the end of the world--which is the reason they live in Why. The march of America toward a more contentious country, a more complex nation, both confuses and angers a small group of Whyans who desire a simpler time when the world's problems did not directly affect them. However, located just 30 miles north of Mexico in the Sonoran Desert, Why cannot escape the ominous and rapidly approaching 21st century. The Why Intersection examines America's southern border issues from an earlier time, but issues that resonate still today.
