The House at Otowi Bridge
A tribute to Edith Warner who befriended both the Indians of San Ildefonso and the atomic scientists at Los Alamos.
This Dancing Ground of Sky
Peggy Pond Church, acclaimed New Mexico poet, is a masterful voice with volumes to speak. Possessing a capacity for looking with clear eyes at unpleasant realities as well as beauty, she wrote every day of her life. One central theme of her work is relationship -- the self to the self, the self to others, both lovers and friends.
Bones Incandescent
"The journals, dating from the 1930s, are studies in spiritual and psychological response to the landscape that informed Church's sensibilities and creative energy. The plateau she loved became both her subject and the basis of her connection to other women writers, particularly Warner, Mary Austin, and May Sarton."--BOOK JACKET.
In the Shadow of Los Alamos
To read this book is to hear her own quiet voice, describing pueblo ceremonials, detailing the difficulties of life during the war years, and above all recording her own spiritual relationship with the New Mexico landscape.

Shoes for the Santo Nino
The story of Julianita and the Santo Nino is an expression of the fabric of northern New Mexico, its culture and its traditions. Stories like this have been told literally thousands of times in homes all across the Southwest. Venerated since the eighth century, the Santo Nino is an important part of both the Native American and the Hispanic traditions. People pray to the Santo Nino for healing, mainly of children, and devoted pilgrims frequently leave children's shoes at his shrines. Many believe that he wears the shoes out at night when he goes walking secretly visiting children while they are asleep in order to heal them. The most famous shrines to the Santo Nino are in Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Mexico and Chimayo, New Mexico. This story was written in the 1930s by famed New Mexico author Peggy Pond Church and lost for almost seven decades. Re-discovered, it is now brought back to life with full-color illustrations by award-winning Santa Fe artist Charlie Carrillo. The book won the Best Children's Picture Book Award in the 2010 New Mexico Book Awards.
The Wives of Los Alamos
Their average age was twenty-five. They came from Berkeley, Cambridge, Paris, London and Chicago – and arrived in New Mexico ready for adventure or at least resigned to it. But hope quickly turned to hardship in the desolate military town where everything was a secret, including what their husbands were doing at the lab. They lived in barely finished houses with a P.O. Box for an address, in a town wreathed with barbed wire, all for the benefit of 'the project' that didn't exist as far as the greater world was concerned. They were constrained by the words they couldn't say out loud, the letters they couldn't send home, the freedom they didn't have. Though they were strangers, they joined together – babies were born, friendships were forged, children grew up. But then 'the project' was unleashed and even bigger challenges faced the women of Los Alamos, as they struggled with the burden of their contribution towards the creation of the most destructive force in mankind's history – the atomic bomb. Contentious, gripping and intimate, The Wives of Los Alamos is a personal tale of one of the most momentous events in our history.
