The author came to Taos, New Mexico, in the early 1950s fresh out of college, where she had studied weaving. The author's life became intertwined with that of her friends Rachel Brown and Kristina Wilson. They shared with her a love for the New Mexico landscape, their work as weavers and spinners, and the joys and sorrows of children and grandchildren. In addition to the story of their friendship, this is the story of the evolution of their work, a relationship with wool that is unique to each weaver but for each intimately related to Northern New Mexico. The author captures the spirit of Taos valley, the texture of daily life, and the challenge of the creative process. Color and black and white photographs illustrate. 218 Pgs.
