After having lived all of my early years in the high Rockies of California, I was unprepared for the vast sweep of sunstruck desert with its flat wastes, clumps of cacti, and barren parched-rock ranges. Its emotional impact was so profound, I was impelled to give voice to it with pencil and paper."

Set in Santa Fe in the mid fifties, the story itself is deceptively simple. Elsie, a spoiled, self centered ten year old Anglo tourist girl, has come to the annual Fiesta with her...
