Rancho Mirage is a beautiful residential and desert-resort community nestled along the Santa Rosa Mountains, located between the cities of Palm Springs and Palm Desert in the Coachella Valley. Bighorn sheep and the Agua Caliente tribe of Cahuilla Indians were the areas early inhabitants. Date farms and ranchos developed after aquifers were discovered. Guest ranches soon followed and became favorite destinations for the rich and famous in the 1940s and 1950s. By the early 1950s, residential communities designed in classic Desert Modern style were being constructed along with the valleys first two country clubs with 18-hole golf courses. Rancho Mirage soon emerged as the golf capital of the world and has since grown to be a premier resort and residential community with a permanent population of 16,870 and several thousand additional winter residents who enjoy the citys 10 country clubs, three world-class resorts, and scores of restaurants.

"The crime at the heart of Rancho Mirage, the murder of wealthy businessman Robert Sand at an exclusive residential country club near Palm Springs, is a study in complexity and moral ambiguity that cuts to the quick of fin de siecle America." "The murder, the investigation that followed it - an investigation complicated by a bizarre series of reported rapes and abductions of the beautiful Mrs. Sand - and the eventual trial of Mrs. Sand for murder, make up one of the strangest and most telling true crime stories ever written." "Andrea Claire was a single mother who had raised two boys and become a highly paid international call girl by the time she met the 68-year-old Robert Sand. Although she was portrayed as a money-hungry sociopath by the prosecuting attorney, there is considerable evidence that she was a "borderline" - and perhaps a multiple - personality: someone who, under conditions of extreme stress, can cross over into a psychotic state in which reality and fantasy, as well as right and wrong, can't be distinguished." "Andrea Claire understood that her marriage to Robert Sand would not be an ordinary one, and that she would be expected to comply with his sexual demands. The extent of those demands - that she was in essence a sexual slave - turned out to be more than she had bargained for. A battered woman from the time of her first marriage at 15 to a man who had raped her, she married Sand believing she would at last achieve a secure lifestyle that would allow her to give up prostitution, a profession she had taken up because she couldn't hold a regular job." "At what point does sex stop being sex and become an act of power? What happens if a man's every wish is a woman's command? Most men can understand Robert Sand; what makes him unique is that he was blessed and cursed with the resources and the will to live out his unbridled fantasies." "A widower in his fifties named Joe Mims, who married Andrea Sand the day after she was indicted for murder, brings the story its strangest twist yet, and provides it with a climax that almost defies the imagination." "Nothing is quite what it seems in Rancho Mirage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

RANCHO MIRAGE is a bitingly funny black comedy about what happens when the fictions that hold our lives together are exposed. In this sharp and surprising sojourn into the psyche of modern-day America—where affluence is perhaps our greatest mirage—three couples, long-time friends, find themselves at a dinner party where everyone finally decides to tell the truth. RANCHO MIRAGE asks what connects us when our youth, our dreams, and our last bottle of wine are gone.

No longer overshadowed by neighboring Palm Springs, Mod Mirage reveals in photos and stories the historic homes and communities of Rancho Mirage that make up its significant midcentury heritage. Mod Mirage documents the architecturally innovative homes and communities that were built on and adjacent to the historic Thunderbird and Tamarisk Country Clubs from 1950 to 1970, in what is now the community of Rancho Mirage, California. Some of the midcentury's most distinguished architects, including William Cody, Donald Wexler, William Krisel, E. Stewart Williams, and William Pereira, designed many of these structures, many of which are hidden behind country club gates and not easily accessible to the public. This is the first book to focus solely on Rancho Mirage's rich architecture while also discussing its influential social history. Melissa Riche is a writer, researcher, architecture enthusiast, preservationist, and media consultant. She has written about architecture and design for twenty years, including articles for Atomic Ranch magazine and the Desert Sun newspaper and historic nominations for the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation. She is the founder of Mod Mirage, a group of midcentury modern homeowners in Rancho Mirage, California. Melissa and her husband, photographer Jim Riche, live in Tamarisk Ranchos, a William Krisel-designed midcentury modern community.
