Synopsis
For more than a decade, photographer Linda Dufurrena has recorded with powerful eloquence the rugged, heartbreakingly beautiful landscape of northern Nevada and the patterns of life on the Dufurrena family ranch in the Quinn River Valley. Her work has appeared in magazines and has been widely exhibited, but now, for the first time, 124 of her finest photographs are collected in book form. Accompanied by a brilliant essay by her daughter-in-law, teacher and writer Carolyn Dufurrena, that discusses the rhythms of the land and of life on the ranch, the photographs in Fifty Miles from Home vividly depict the heart of the West and its fabled ranch culture.

Review
This fine collaboration between Carolyn Dufurrena and mother-in-law Linda Dufurrena provides an insightful and personal look at ranch life in northern Nevada. --Western Horseman
This well-made and heartfelt book is at once a primer in high desert ranching, a salute to the stark beauty of this empty country and the people who work it, and alas an elegy to a culture that is disappearing. --Journal of the West
Readers of Fifty Miles will likely be seduced by Carolyn s writings and equally, or even more, by Linda s exquisite and creative photography. --Klamath Falls Herald and News
