Product Description
Harmony is a fading flower. When she arrived in Vegas 20 years ago, she was just 17 and had "...the best legs in town...maybe the best bust!" But now she's 39 and all that's left are memories, pet peacocks and a cancelled Visa. But in a falling down life, Harmony herself is a triumph--an unabashed romantic who sees the silver lining in every cloud. She finds life a joy, thus brings joy into the lives she touches. "The author captures Las Vegas whole...its glittering facade, its 24-hour-a-day supermarkets, its calculated appeal to everyone's American Dream. McMurtry presents his characters with a sympathy and compassion that makes us care about their destinies." (Los Angeles Times)
