DESCRIPTION - More than anyplace, Emily loves the desert - or 'the dry' as Grandmama Ola calls it. Emmie's been visiting every summer since she was two: now she's fourteen. And now, in the middle of the night, in the midst of the dry's vast silence, Emmie is driving Ola's old Buick to get away. On her grandmother's bedside table she's found eight bottles of pills, two labeled AS NEEDED FOR PAIN. She's discovered the story of her grandfather and his death in Alabama in 1964; she's glimpsed the past for her own mama, and the future for them all when Ola comes back to Cleveland to go into the hospital. The more she knows, the more the desert blooms with life for Emily, the more Martha Jackson and 'the aunts' mean, rolling around on the floor with laughter, the more the story of Ola sweeps her up in a great hug of comfort. To understand and remember it, Emmie takes a camcorder in hand and tapes the people and places that are the desert for Ola, the friends who have become a part of her. It's David Two Starr, the boy with one blue eye and one brown, whom Emmie has to thank - for the driving, and for knowing where this powerful story ends. inventory #35993.
