Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry writes novels set in the American heartland, but this real territory is the heart itself. Harmony is "The Desert Rose, " a Las Vegas showgirl with the best legs in town and three peacocks in her back yard. In the arid neon world of drive-in wedding chapels and all-night casinos, she throws her love away on second-rate men and wakes up every morning with a young girl's hope. But Harmony's star is fading while her beautiful daughter Pepper's is on the rise.
