Tamara Ellen Higgins is an aspiring professional photographer in Portland Oregon. This novel takes a one-month snapshot of her life as she reaches her mid- thirties. Things happen to her that force her to reconsider herself and those around her. Through humor and irony this story feeds off the contrasts between urban vs. rural men vs. women parents vs. children intelligence vs. ignorance religion vs. a- religion preconception vs. reality and of course since we're dealing with a Portlander green living vs. not-so- green living. So enjoy the ride and experience Ellen's transformation through love laughs loss Leota and La Grande Oregon.
