The Death of Bernadette Lefthand

I live in Rio Rancho, NM, which is just a couple of hours near these places. I'm hispanic, not Native American, but I know some of the stories of the area, but not all the little details. I am sure this book only skims some of the witchcraft lore. But it was chilling and very vivid nonetheless. A great read. Rich with culture. I could actually picture the mesas and arroyos. Even the attitude of the people. And it does leave you pondering....was it witchcraft that killed Bernadette? Or was it just another domestic violence incident gone way wrong? Hmmmm....
