Reviews

"Stacia Spragg-Braude has assembled an intimate portrait of one family's continuing effort to maintain their ties to Navajo cultural traditions...readers interested in glimpsing emotionally resonant moments of familial and cultural resilience will want to spend time poring over the eighty-one black-and-white photographs Spragg-Braude has culled from her archives...creates a degree of intimacy and conveys the feeling to readers that they are thumbing through the pages of a family photo album, peering into the pages of a private record."
