Description
Bec Robertson is starting over. She's broke, recovering from breast cancer, and lives in a rundown cabin in northern New Mexico. Her husband is deployed in Afghanistan as a chaplain, and can't stand to touch her. The people she meets, her villagers, are batty if not wacko, and her hawk Amelia can't keep up with the mice. She lives next door to a dubious veterans' center. As if she hasn't invented enough problems for herself, she has a love/hate connection with an unstable Marine. Being Bec is tough, but survival is in her bones – and she lives under the numinous skies of New Mexico.

Advance Praise
“One of the best books I’ve read this year. Scott A. Jones tells this hopeful and heartbreaking story of love and scars and fresh starts with graceful prose and a beautiful appreciation for the complication of both place and the human condition.”
—Anne Hillerman, best selling author of A Cave Of Bones
“And Throw Away the Skins is a fearless and savvy tale of love and loss set in a starkly beautiful landscape of northern New Mexico. Here is a story that is many stories, a drama of shattered lives and broken people in which a courageous woman gets one last chance to live a genuine life. Scott Archer Jones gives me all I want from a story: compassion, insight, and provocation.”
— John Dufresne, author of I Don’t Like Where This Is Going
