Her writing in the book is simple, straightforward, the prose of the prairie. This is, after all, the part of Canada that spawned k d lang back when she was a country crooner, the next incarnation of Patsy Cline. People there are the salt of the earth, and tolerance and acceptance is something that happens between people, although not necessarily between sides in the culture wars. Coyote's writing is warm, accessible,

engrossing, engaging. Her short story collections are scintillating, and her first novel is sublime.

In the acknowledgments at the end of the book, she thanks her partner Mette Bach for her unceasing support, and her cousin Dan Bushnell for his prodding and technical assistance, among the many others one normally thanks in such pieces.

to mount and host. Yet CATF and Rodriguez are proud that they keep expenses down to under 20 percent. According to Rodriguez, the expenses are mostly paid for from corporate sponsorships and other donations-cash and in-kind-so that all the proceeds form the auctions and other sources go directly to CATF.

Tickets range from $75 for the silent auction and party to $250 for a patron reception and live auction. Couples can get into the silent auction and party for $140 while students with a valid ID will get tickets at a reduced rate of $40. The patron reception begins at 6:30 pm, with the live auction at 7:30 pm. The silent auction and general party will commence at 8 pm. For more information call 614-340-6753 or visit www.afl2008.org.
