"A wonderful addition to the literature of the Southwest." -Rudolfo Anaya "Canterbury comes to Chimayo. Sandlin lays claim to a part of the world so infused with beauty it startles people awake, a world where miracles still happen, where the divine isn't taken for granted, where each moment is poised on the knife edge of change. Storytelling at its finest."-Jonis Agee Lisa Sandlin's third collection centers around the daily lives of characters in northern New Mexico who interact with saints literally or metaphorically. Several of the stories take place on the annual Good Friday walk to Chimayo and incorporate traditional elements of pilgrimage: storytelling and chance. "A prose poem to New Mexico that will endure to become a classic."-John Nichols
