Clifford, Audrie
Another damn newcomer : confrontational politics, environment issues and fun in rural New Mexico / by Audrie Clifford. - Santa Fe, N.M. : Sunstone Press, c2011. - 215 p.
Even in the most civilized countries, there is still a reluctance to accept strangers into small communities. Another Damn Newcomer tells the story of a couple moving to a tiny town where the wife is eventually elected as mayor, but is despised by the other governing body members. One would think that being the mayor of a small town would benefit both the town and the residents. Not so if the village councilors don't like you. During this time, the country had to contend with the environmental issues of the spotted owl and reintroduction of the wolf. Despite the problems encountered, the book is full of laughter and the delight of living. Enjoy the funny story of a middle-aged couple moving to an isolated New Mexico village where they find friends, love, opportunities and challenges -- but never, ever total acceptance.
