Gunman Seth Strummar has retired at last, determined to provide a better life for his family. He has settled down in Arizona Territory, where the townspeople are willing to tolerate a famous killer.

A tribute to Sisters and Nuns of the Catholic Church in the United States and other countries.

REVIEWS
It is no small thing, for publishers among others, to swim against the tide, express convictions and expound ideas which challenge current fashion and trends. In today's ubiquitous buzzwords, to be politically incorrect, address subjects not considered relevant. A small independent press in Albuquerque has done just that, courageously publishing a handsome and excellent book of stories, testimonies and photographs of Women Religious. In an era when Nuns are associated with the Nunsense of Broadway and the film caricatures of Hollywood, are the targets of feminists and alienated activists who once attended schools staffed by religious women, such a publication seems indeed doomed to failure.
Yet Behold the Women is deservedly gaining wide enthusiastic acceptance, its stories by established writers as well as by people from all walks of life and levels of education enthralling readers with their tributes to women "powerful without even knowing it, unsung activists" to whom much is owed.
From a Foreword by Dame Felicitas Corrigan, O.S.B. of Stanbrook Abbey, England, Behold the Women launches into more than 200 memories of Women Religious by writers whose lives were profoundly affected by them. Archbishop Desmond Tutu requires only a few paragraphs to extol the two nuns assigned to him as aides when he first began studies at Theological College. Acknowledging his indebtedness to them, he comments that they've had to work overtime "on knee drill to keep me in the straight and narrow." Norman Vincent Peale wrote but two sentences, commending the nuns at St Joseph's Hospital in Houston for their daily practice of telling each patient a funny story, quoting "a merry heart doeth good like a medicine."
One of the longer tributes in the book is by Fr Daniel Berrigan, S.J., to his aunt Brigid Berrigan who was known as Sister Maria Josephine after she entered the Sisters of Charity in New York. The story of Sister Josephine perhaps best typifies traits, personalities, weaknesses and strengths shared by most of the women honored in this compelling volume. Though the individuality of these nuns, from abroad as well as the United States, is strikingly documented, they are linked in many ways beyond the essential commitment to Religious life. Like Josephine, many were from families of modest or poor means, no strangers to privation and sacrifice. Like Josephine, many, through death in the family or financial necessity, were enlisted at tender ages to assume roles as care givers to siblings. From those growing up in slums to those who enjoyed gracious privilege, they were for the most part intelligent and independent women, worldly wise and unafraid to fight for their right to enter lives which long before the age of Feminism were considered unconventional, a divergence from the prescribed roles of wives and mothers.
Women of exceptional courage, in ministry to others they do not flinch from exposure to hideous disease and contagion, from the ignorance and even abuse from so many of the underprivileged they serve, from excessive toil and the sneering patronizations of societies which too often look on their chastity, obedience and self-denial as being childlike, a refuge from the "real" world. The realities of their worlds in these pages reveals challenges which would make most of us outside Religious life cower; which, in fact, most of us could never meet, and for many would spell defeat. Human, subject to the same frailties we all know, there is hardly a whine or complaint among their quotations or letters in this book, little of the unbridled anger manifested in our age of lashing out at everything we consider unfair or frustrating. Inevitably, what sustains these women against formidable struggle in a secular world is Faith. -- Drew Bacigalupa, New Mexico Internet Access

Ultimately, Leah’s faith in God is put to the test as she spends a lifetime competing with her sister for the love and affection of their husband, Jacob.

REVIEWS
Davis remains true to the Biblical account of Leah and reveals the power of compassion, humility and forgiveness found through the grace of God. -- Ann Edenfield, WINGS Ministry

Cynthia Davis has a wonderful way of helping the reader fall in love with the least desired sister and gives Leah the humanity seldom expressed toward such a "minor" bible character. -- Crossings Book Club

Alright hold it, you may say! How the heck can so many fine musical acts live and work in a state the size of New Mexico and still know little or nothing of each other . . . and how could the public at large have missed ‘em!?! Well maybe the same way Bigfoot apparently lives in northern California and for very much the same reason: sometimes you can’t see the “foragers” for the trees!

In New Mexico’s case it’s the miles. Here we have one major but isolated population corridor stretching along the Rio Grande’s north central portion with lots of Indian land, ranch land and widely scattered self-contained rural and agricultural communities. But here we also find a curious creative wellspring that per capita spawns more artists in all media than does any other part of the world! The topography has encouraged New Mexico’s music artists to grow “modularly” (with outside stylistic influences to be sure), shaping their own fan bases and individual takes on Western Music and its honky-tonkier cousin Western Swing, a style that has remained intact since the earliest days of Bob Wills, Adolph Hofner, Milton Brown and so on.

Incorporating other musical forms into Western is still being “true” to Western, defined as the music of and about the West past and present…its people, land, traditions and all pursuits of the cowboy. Irish and English ballads, Cajun and Blues, Mexican and even Hawaiian music have splashed their colors onto the palette of Western. It’s a 300-year-old work in progress!!

The contemporary staying power and lasting value of Western Music is proven. It flourishes with minimal radio airplay and little coordinated promotional assistance. It has too long gone unrecognized as an “official musical genre” by the professional monitoring organizations. Yet Western and Western Swing are the music mainstays of many of the artists who you’ll discover (and who have discovered each other for the first time) through this album project.

So, on with the show! Welcome Western Music fans and curiosity seekers alike! And welcome performers! It’s our privilege and pleasure to give up the “big secret” of your existence!

Between Two Countries: A History of Coronado National Memorial 1939-1990 is the inspiring story of a generation that sought to acknowledge the common history the United States shares with Mexico. The story began at a time when fact and legend intertwined to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the fi rst European expedition to traverse northwestern Mexico and the southwest of the U.S. In the end, two governments with different historical viewpoints agreed to disagree on the creation of an international monument with corresponding sites on both sides of the border. Congress offi cially established Coronado National Memorial in 1952 on the U.S. side of the International Boundary. The National Park Service took the reins to commemorate the harmonious relations with Mexico and the common history shared by citizens of both countries.

What People Are Saying:
The process of creating a national park is indeed intriguing. Between Two Countries reveals how the process worked in mid-twentieth century. This book presents the story of a grass-roots movement that became epic in proportion. The creation of Coronado National Memorial brought together ranchers, miners, bureaucrats from local, state and federal levels, governors, congressmen, and cabinet members from the Department of State and the Department of the Interior. This book is a must read for students, professionals, and the general public.—Manuel Lujan, former Secretary of the Interior and U.S. Congressman.

If anyone ever wondered about the role of individuals and community spirit as a hallmark of the American tradition, Between Two Countries demonstrates the American character at work. The amazing story is cast in the middle of the twentieth century when rural values were being subsumed by the lure of the city.This book is for those interested in National Park Service history.—Art Gomez, Historian, National Park Service

Between Two Countries serves as a treatise about relationships that have often been a source of misunderstanding between Mexico and the U.S. The history of the creation of Coronado National Memorial reveals the result of crosscultural differences and perspectives that emerged since the War of 1846 and Mexican historical-political experience that developed throughout the nineteenth century. This book is great reading for those who seek to understand United States-Mexico relations.—Robert Spude, Historian, National Park Service

Events that could, and often do, crush us psychologically and physically can also be used for personal transformation and growth.

Join author, bereavement counselor Gabriel Constans, as he meets with Leah Rabin, Le Ly Hayslip, Maggie and Reg Green, Jeanne White, Hazel Johnson, Lee Mun Wah, Nané Alejandrez, Candace Lightner and others to discover how ordinary human beings find the strength, courage, and tenacity to overcome the worst that can happen, climb out of the pits of devastation, and help heal humanity in the wake of personal tragedy.

REVIEWS
