Customer Reviews:
A most amazing woman...February 26, 2000 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book details the life of Jesusita Aragon, a woman who has ushered more than 15,000 babies into this world. From her childhood in rural northern New Mexico to her career as the region's most highly respected midwife, one learns of the trials and tribulations endured duing a pivotal period in the American Southwest's progression from traditional Hispanic life into the modern times. As a piece of anthropological history, and as a human story, this book documents a reality little known to most people. Written from a first-hand observation and involvement, Fran Buss has captured the day-to-day feeling of the life that this most amazing woman lead. I was fortunate enough to have had her deliver both of my children, and I can attest to the accuracy and sincerity of this book. I recommend it highly to anyone interested in home birth or Southwestern U.S. history.
