From the Jacket:

Focusing On Over Seventy five churches of Northern New Mexico, this definitive guidebook introduces the reader to the hidden history contained in this rural area. The region is divided into seven tour areas with an introduction to each area, a map, and a suggested starting point for a self-guided tour. An overview of church history, construction and renovation, and celebrations are featured as well as interesting information on the villages and people who had an impact on the churches.

Ms. Cash provides a guidebook which includes remote areas that are not always visited by tourists. The book is also accessible, through Jack Parsons's sensitive photography of the churches' exteriors, to those who may want to see the architecture of the buildings and feel the strength that exudes from them.
