This small book filled with short stories is jam-packed with breathtaking writing. From the idea of only visiting the Grand Canyon through a replica form to an archaeologist who returns home to find his home only cinders..each story is detailed enough to give you a sense of nature and of the Southwest. The characters are essential to the sometimes ironic and thought-provoking situations.

With photographs, memories and more, who is to say what is real and what is not? With our world and that of nature, Olsen writes with a clever and wry twist that will keep the reader thoroughly entertained. I was intrigued and read it in one sitting - it's fabulous!
