As almost anyone who has driven through the Great Central Valley in California knows, the real heart of the valley is hidden. This book is a selection of personal journal entries and working photographs created during Melanie and Ken Light's five year exploration of this vital, but troubled region. It was created as a companion piece to the award winning book, "Valley of Shadows and Dreams," (Heyday, 2012) which documents and examines California's Great Central Valley between 2005 - 2010. Go to www.valleyofshadowsanddreams.com for more information.

This book not only offers first hand documentation of the people and places Ken and Melanie encountered, but gives an idea about how a project is shaped from many small interactions, observations and musings. For more information about the author, please visit www.melanielight.com
