The story of Ajo—a small copper mining town near the Mexican border in the desert of southern Arizona—is about the men and women who were drawn there by the lure of copper; but also of the indigenous peoples who have lived there for millennia. The earliest explorers faced overwhelming obstacles. To the pessimist, this was a forbidding and alien land where the heat was suffocating and water was a rare and precious commodity.

The author, myself, was an exchange student through Rotary International. It is my sincere hope that this book encourages and inspires teenagers to live abroad, and go beyond their cultural comforts.
