Boom times came to the forgotten little southwestern town of Chamisaville just as the rest of America was in the Great Depression. They came when a rattletrap bus loaded with stolen dynamite blew sky high, leaving behind a giant gushing hot spring. Within minutes, the town's wheeler-dealers had organized, and within a year, Chamisaville was flooded with tourists and pilgrims. The wheeler-dealers were rich -- and that was only the beginning . . . "John Nichols has all of Steinbeck's gifts, the same overwhelming compassion for people plus an even finer sense of humor, and I the need to celebrate the cause and dignity of man...he has left us with a classic American trilogy for our time." --Chicago Tribune John Nichols is a marvelous tale spinner...as huge and quirky an American talent as has materialized in the past twenty years." --Los Angeles Herald Examiner "A storyteller of uncommon wit and inventiveness." --Cleveland Plain Dealer
