The Women of Candelaria

The Women of Candelaria

Editorial Reviews Midwest Book Review The Women of Candelaria is a book of pictorial evidence for a strength and dignity that are a testament to the power of an active faith, vital community life, and rich traditions as it tells the personal stories of descendants of the ancient Maya in a Guatemalan village of 65 families set in a land of wide vistas, rolling hills, steep canyons, oak and pine forests. There are stories punctuated by the tragedies of war, earthquake, and privation, but also by the warmth of large, supportive families, by the generosity of their community and the richness of their religious celebrations. It pictures them surrounded by the things they hold most dear: their children, a special flower garden, a prized farm animal. This is a beautiful addition to any library shelf.
