More about the book
Set in the fading town of Mountain City, Nevada, the memoir captures the lives of its dwindling population, consisting of only thirty-one residents, all adults. Through the lens of Martin's family-run general store, the narrative unfolds the vibrant community dynamics, featuring unique characters like widows and Basque relatives, as well as Native Americans from a nearby reservation. Martin reflects on their resilience amid hardship, portraying their lives with a sense of dignity and a deep connection to a place facing inevitable decline.
