Summary

In Potluck,Ana Maria Spagna explores the deep connection of people and place. Her affectionate, wry, and wise writings journey from Tijuana to a California beach to Utah's canyon country--and, always, back to the sparsely populated valley in the North Cascades she calls home. Often, Potluckhomes in on the everyday gatherings that, over time, define a community-- a makeshift wedding, an art gallery opening, a farewell potluck, a work party, a campfire, a political caucus, a funeral. Spagna doesn't shy away from what pushes people apart--pettiness, prejudice, and idiosyncrasy--and she marvels at what brings people together, and what holds them there. She asks the universal question, "What connects us?" In Potluck,we discover, again and again, the gift of community--easy and uneasy, deep and enduring and essential.
