In this sequel to As Living Stones: My Five Years in Saudi Arabia, Marjory Henderson writes from letters penned by her husband Keith to his parents and adds memories of her own. His work took them from the green of Colorado to the brown of Saudi Arabia. He found relationships with farmers to be both encouraging and discouraging. The socializing was encouraging, as was the occasional wheat yield of 80-100 bushels per acre. Discouraging was seeing wealthy, influential farmers getting perks from the government meant for poor farmers and having only five combines for 60 farms.
