EARTH IS A WOMAN

Writer Neal Thurston seeks inspiration for his "great American novel" at the Rancho del Artista near Mexico City, Mexico, where his artist-friend Pancho has established an artists' colony in the form of a small Mexican pueblo to help nurture aspiring artists and writers. Here Neal finds the alluring artist's model Dominga, and the ragged, spiritually earth-oriented Jose, as well as other characters who help influence his attitudes about life and love.
