This book is a small gem filled with photographs that capture the beauty of the Hispanic churches of Northern New Mexico. The essay by Steve McDowell and the introduction by Robert Coles add an historic and emotional dimension to the work. "....the voices of native New Mexicans in this project....bring the reader a sense of realism that adds validity and dignity to the work."--Orlando Romero, Santa Fe Reporter.
