Résumé :
There are places that should not exist, yet they continue to attract certain character types who breathe life into what was slowly dying and should have been left alone to die a slow and miserable death. Cucamonga Junction is the story about a place and the people who live there. This historical novel takes the reader from the earliest days of the town's existence through the contemporary period of 1975, where residents from various backgrounds balance good with evil and justice with disaster in a rapidly changing world. With the good forced to live in the real world of consequence, the evil create their own little worlds in which they seemingly expect to pay nothing, until those worlds collide. Incredibly, determining fiction from fact can be an impossible task where the eclectic settle, and extraordinary events riddle everyday life. Cucamonga Junction is a real place and was once a real town found along the Santa Fe rail line stretching across the high desert of Northern Arizona, but like the tumbleweeds found throughout the region, both the people and the town have been lost to the winds....
