Rose is a divorced, disillusioned Sierra Club staffer residing in Tecopa, a tiny town in the Mojave Desert wilderness, near Death Valley. Living apart from her young daughter much of the time, she emerges from the pandemic-induced loneliness to rekindle a passionate romance with an old flame, Miles. When their torturous on-again-off-again cycle hits 'off-again' Rose resolves to have a second baby without Miles. Enlisting her comrades from an encampment protesting Yellow Pine, a for-profit industrial solar array on formerly public land, Rose's unorthodox approach to conception becomes a search for community, rest, recovery, and communion with the divine in the face of mass extinction. Yellow Pine is a meditation on disillusionment and re-enchantment, about sacrifice and chronic grief, the refuge of love, and defending the sacred.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Claire Vaye Watkins","offers":[{"title":"256 pages, N\/A \/ 21\/07\/2026 \/ Fiction: special features","offer_id":57208741200247,"sku":"9781529449723","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781529449723.jpg?v=1782128916","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781529449723","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
