WATERSHED: A NOVEL
David Burgess confronts his expulsion from academia and returns to his extreme rural Idaho origins, where he administers his parents' estate and helps the local County start an historical museum. Burgess inevitably compares old agriculture to new, Mormon society to Gentile, and his own history as it floods in upon his return. Watershed investigates the emotions and memory of past loves and family confusion as it takes the reader through tavern life and the peripheries of rural society. Images of an irrigated desert bloom throughout the book, and the characters likewise blossom, inviting the reader to share the intensity that experiencing solitude can bring.
