Tumbleweeds is the continuation of the story of Lily and Thomas Grayson. 1907 Las Vegas, Nevada is no place to raise a family with its prostitutes, gunfighters and assorted hooligans. To make matters worse, women are disappearing from the town. Lily and Thomas discover the mutilated corpse of one of them out in the desert. When a young acquaintance disappears, Lily, along with her Chinese major-domo and a Paiute woman, apprehend the murderer, who vows to kill them all. The murderer is sentenced to prison in northern Nevada, hundreds of miles away. He escapes, is spotted in Las Vegas but evades capture by vanishing into the vast Mojave Desert. Then a violent encounter with a renegade Indian changes Lily's life forever. Tumbleweeds is Volume II of The Meadows Saga. The series explores the development of the town of Las Vegas, Spanish for the meadows, from it's earliest days until its centennial. The books are about relationships between men and women and parents and children in the context of their communities, physical environment and the Zeitgeists of their times. The stories also depict the evolution of our country and the world during the dynamic changes of the Twentieth Century.
