"The arid land that starts in Arizona and stretches into Mexico's west coast is Ronstadt's foothold in the world. It's a story she has told through music, and now wants to tell through food."âThe New York Times
"The book is many things at once. Itâs a portrait of a place, the Sonoran Desert, and itâs a genealogy of sorts, an archival romp through Ronstadtâs family history."âVogue
"An album of loves for the high desert of Sonora and Ronstadt's hometown of Tucson."âNPR
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Linda Ronstadt takes readers on a journey to the place her soul calls home, the Sonoran Desert, in this candid new memoir.
In Feels Like Home, Grammy award-winning singer Linda Ronstadt effortlessly evokes the magical panorama of the high desert, a landscape etched by sunlight and carved by wind, offering a personal tour built around meals and memories of the place where she came of age. Growing up the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants and a descendant of Spanish settlers near northern Sonora, Ronstadtâs intimate new memoir celebrates the marvelous flavors and indomitable people on both sides of what was once a porous border whose denizens were happy to exchange recipes and gather around campfires to sing the ballads that shaped Ronstadtâs musical heritage. Following her bestselling musical memoir, Simple Dreams, this book seamlessly braids together Ronstadtâs recollections of people and their passions in a region little understood in the rest of the United States. This road trip through the desert, written in collaboration with former New York Times writer Lawrence Downes and illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs by Bill Steen, features recipes for traditional Sonoran dishes and a bevy of revelations for Ronstadtâs admirers. If this book were a radio signal, you might first pick it up on an Arizona highway, well south of Phoenix, coming into the glow of Ronstadtâs hometown of Tucson. It would be playing something old and Mexican, from a time when the border was a place not of peril but of possibility.
