In these ten stories, Ford mines literary gold from the wind-scrubbed landscape of the American West--and from the guarded hopes and gnawing loneliness of the people who live there.Rock Springsis a masterpiece of taut narration, cleanly chiseled prose, and empathy so generous that it feels like a kind of grace.
