Recognitions
Reviews
- "[A] beautifully written ode to family bonds...an in-depth view of what truly matters in life - lasting relationships, especially the solidarity between generations of women. Readers should have their handkerchiefs ready and be prepared to become enchanted with the mystical New Mexico scenery." - Booklist
- "As lyrical as a Spanish ballad, peppered with Southwestern metaphors and allusions, and written in a style evocative of Barbara Kingsolver at her best..." - Library Journal
