After Eden is a provocative novel that examines the meaning of home and homelessness among people who see such issues as more than abstractions. In a story populated by Pomo Indians, EuroAmerican ranchers and vintners, and Mexican American migrant laborers, Valerie Miner deftly juxtaposes differing cultural views of wilderness, trespassing, and home. Her dramatic novel is contemporary, while reflecting on two centuries of change in a seemingly Edenic place.Looking forward to relief from her job as a city planner in Chicago, Emily Adams begins a muchneeded vacation at her Northern California cabin. But the sudden death of her life partner forces her to reexamine personal commitments. Caught up in reflection, she comes to understand the intricacies of life in her pastoral retreatcomplexities that she had never before considered.In the modernday Eden of Californias coastal range, Emily finds conflict all around her: between loggers and environmentalists, farmworkers and immigration authorities, newcomers establishing a lesbian community and longtime residents clinging to traditional ways.As Emily learns to overcome grief, her story moves from loss to renewal for both the individual and the community. A decidedly feminist view of the New West, After Eden weaves lyrical prose with a different look at family values and what it really means to be human.
