Set in the small North Texas town of Burro in 1980-81, ""Pitching Tents"" is the unusual story of Vida Singer, eighty years of age, and Wayman Ezekial Scott, sixty-five. A rich, fast-paced, carefully constructed story of character, time, and place, this is a vital, comic, and touching novel of differing freedoms and loves as Vida and Wayman find a way to pitch a movable tent.
