It takes all kinds to populate Northern New Mexico, and this book
has every one: from gypsies and gamblers to ranchers and criminals.
Noted author Nasario Garcia introduces us to some of these people
and the challenges they face. The title character, Adelfa, flirts
with the glamour of casinos and finds herself addicted to gambling.
Sam ""Spam"" Austin, an inmate serving a long sentence for murder,
is paroled, attends medical school, and becomes a doctor. The
affable grandfather in ""Yo Quiero Hacer un Lie 'Way,"" a
hard-working and honorable rancher, stuns the proprietor of a
mortuary with his request to put a coffin on layaway.
