Desert Scene

PAPER DOLL IN HARDBACK: A new book called "Paper Doll: Lessons Learned From a Life Lived In the Headlines" was launched last week at a reception in the Big Horn home of its author, LuAn Mitchell-Halter and her husband, Reese Halter.

Make a note of those names, you'll be hearing a lot more about this dynamic duo who recently made the desert their home base. The book (US $24) can be ordered from Borders in Rancho Mirage.
