Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. Greaves, Bill - Cover and Interior Design (illustrator). Assumed First Edition. 211 Pages. Nash Candelaria's memoir focuses on how and why he chose to become a writer. As he investigates his family's more than 300-year history in New Mexico as well as his own journeys in the Southwest, the author reveals intimate details about his life and the truths he learned about family, self, and the world around him. With sparse, clear language, Candelaria tells a tale of conquistadors, family, a Depression-era childhood, and his personal transformation into a writer.
