SANTA FE DREAMHOUSE:
Encounters in the Land of Enchantment

Santa Fe Dreamhouse delivers a heartwarming tale of love and life challenges. When Reed and Jim left the east to start over in middle age, they found both joy and surprises in the foreign culture. They learned to work with adobe, vigas and plaster; joined a neighborhood battle and city politics; studied New Mexico history, encountered Indians. Horses and round-ups, construction and, when they ran out of money, real estate—it’s all here. Reed and Jim took a chance on each other and survived good times and lean. If you have ever dreamed of a new beginning, here’s the trail to Santa Fe.

Advance praise:
“Reed Stevens’ memoir paints a glorious New Mexican landscape in which her midlife blooms with passion and adventure when she and her lover transform a Santa Fe adobe wreck into a paradise of renewal. Through the unfettered light of internal honesty, Stevens conjures a magic akin to that created by Frances Mayes in Under a Tuscan Sun.”
