Melanie Sumner, The Ghost of
Milagro Creek -- "The story of Ignacia
Vigil Romero, a full Jacarilla Apache, and the two boys,
Mister and Tomás, she raised to adulthood unfolds in a
barrio of Taos, New Mexico—a mixed community of Native
Americans, Hispanics, and whites. Now deceased, Ignacia,
a curandera—a medicine woman, though some say a
witch—begins this tale of star-crossed lovers. Mister
and Tomás, best friends until their late teens, both
fall for Rocky, a gringa of some mystery, a girl Tomás
takes for himself. But in a moment of despair, a pledge
between the young men leads to murder. When Ignacia
falls silent, police reports, witness statements, and
caseworker interviews draw an electrifying portrait of a
troubled community and of the vulnerable players in this
mounting tragedy. Set in a terrain that becomes a
character in its own right, The Ghost of Milagro
Creek brilliantly illuminates this hidden corner
of American society." Sumner currently lives in Rome,
Georgia, and teaches creative writing at Kennesaw State
University. |
