Finalist for the Willa Cather AwardMountain Time is a wonderful hybrid: part memoir, part personal essay, and part documentary of the places and people of the West that have inspired Jane Candia Coleman's award-winning stories. It has something for everyone-nature, history, a poetic evocation of the land-while, running through it all, is the story of a woman's gradual awakening to new possibilities, and to the realization of her strength.
