A brief description of the themed semester, year, or first-year experience:
As part of our required first year course this book was chosen in 2010-2011 as a common reader.
It is the story of a woman who moves back to her hometown in Arizona to take care of her ailing father. She works as a biology teacher at the local high school and one of the major plot points is the town's struggle against a mining company to stop them from polluting the town's water supply and the orchards that are the town's livelihood. It is a great "real life" applicable example of environmental sustainability.
