...contrast, the daughter, a part-time clinical social worker, and her husband Richard, 40, a hospital administrator, see no reason to put off life's rewards.

Such people, earnest and a little unhinged, began popping up in her fiction...
...arrived in Arizona three weeks before the workshop began with $40 in his pocket and a flat tire, and had never cowboyed. Mary Caldwell, sixtyish, has whittled a piece of wood into a horse during the week, and says she does all the riding on her ranch while her husband stays at home.
