An random article in a travel magazine compels talented but socially-isolated artist Margaret Shaw to pack up and move from New York City to New Mexico. She quickly settles into a Chicano/Mexican barrio near the river, spending long days at local junkyards attempting to satisfy another recent obsession, her determination to mover her art from two dimensions to three. As she collects rusty parts from obsolete machinery, she imagines welding them into sculptures, and she never looks back at the sorrowful past she left behind in the east.

Hidden gem within the shelves submitted by Shirlina on October 26, 2014, 8:11am A well written book. A piece of metal develops rust, a reflection of life lived. A life containing sorrow, pain, guilt, redemption, acceptance and love. Each rusty part together in life leads to forgiveness and wisdom.
