Stacia Spragg-Braude

Don't let the quaint and homespun title fool you. This book is a beautifully written and engaging homage to Evelyn Losack, a woman farmer and water rights activist from Corrales, New Mexico, a small community on the northern outskirts of Albuquerque. Through the sensitive journalist eye of writer/photographer Stacia Braude-Spragg, the book is a personal introduction to a life well lived, one with conviction, which will have universal appeal.

An intimate portrait of a family's decision to return to the Navajo reservation and reclaim its cultural identity. Stacia Spragg-Braude photographed and interviewed the Begay family over the course of a decade, providing a window on a culture not often seen by outsiders. Uplifting and moving, this book examines the spiritual healing that can take place when cultural identity is honored and restored.
