Publisher's Synopsis
Three yuppie women of different stripes - the retired writer turned politician Sarah, the New Age artist and Larissa, and the Palestinian refugee/dancer Mariam - descend upon the Sedona of the recent past to start over again. After Sarah leads a successful movement in Northern Arizona to secede from the purple State of Arizona and becomes Norzona's first governor, a trio of Anglo men - her former husband and geology professor Ernie Newton, Bessemer Materials CEO Cleveland Motrel, and Jim Malone, the scion of an old Arizona family based in the Norzona capital of neighboring Flagstaff - conspire to reap enormous profits from mining a rich bed of diamonds beneath the hidden crystal deposits to the detriment of the Secret Canyon Wilderness Area near Sedona.
The heroines with the help of Norzona native Paul Tse and his old friends Shorty Sandoval and Mike Lange struggle to meet this challenge that threatens to ruin Sedona for everyone.
