Mrs. Orcutt’s Driveway
C. V. Wooster
In the Mojave Desert of the 1960s, Margaret “Bonnie” Orcutt—an elegant widow and harpist turned desert homesteader—refused to be erased. When the U.S. government sought to bulldoze her land for highway expansion, she fought back with determination, legal research, and a manual typewriter. What began as a driveway dispute became a years-long battle that reached the White House.
Mrs. Orcutt’s Driveway is the powerful true story of one woman’s quiet defiance against bureaucracy, set against the stark beauty of California’s high desert. Blending meticulous research with cinematic storytelling, it explores resilience, justice, and the sacredness of home. Perfect for readers of historical nonfiction, women’s history, and unforgettable stories of courage.
