Autorenporträt
Nancy Kay was passionate about the Northern California coast and Point Arena in particular. Her book, "Where the West Ends", is a compilation of geology, geography, history and personal experiences in and around Point Arena. Nancy Kay's voice lives on in her meticulously researched and referenced book, one that is unique to the literature about Northern California. She writes about native populations, newcomers, and folks brought to life by real court records from the Point Arena Court House. She explores the use and misuse of rivers and fishing, redwoods and timber, farmers and land use. Nancy Kay speaks of community, while telling stories of places, both historical and contemporary. Her own life experiences bring the book to life, even as she explores relevant topics related to Northern California.
