Synopsis
Grandparents are our teachers, our allies, and a great source of love. They supply endless stories that connect us to a past way of life and to people long gone - people who led ordinary lives, but were full of extraordinary teachings. This is the subject of ""Sweet Nata"", a memoir about familial traditions and the joys and hardships the author experienced in her youth. Set during the 1950s and 1960s in Mora and Corrales, New Mexico, Zamora reveals her interaction with her parents, grandparents, and other extended family members who had the greatest influence on her life. She paints a picture of native New Mexican culture and history for younger generations that will also be nostalgic for older generations.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover octavo first edition of turquoise cloth stamped in gilt on the spine. The book is in fine condition in a equally fine dust jacket. Autobiographical memories of growing up in New mexico, between the small mountain town of Mora and Corrales. The title comes from one of her first memories, of sitting at her Grandmother's table in Mora, in a well used high chair, and eating warm oatmeal with sweet cream. Engaging and accurate accounts of New Mexico in the 50's and 60's, when many rural families still heated and cooked with wood, on old iron cook stoves which were some of the best stoves gor cooking. I can vouch for this, and still miss my wood cookstove to this day. The author has published many stories about New Mexican Chicano culture, history, family and heritage in "La Herencia Magazine". x and 230 pp. Southwest, New Mexico, Memoir, Autobiographical sketches, Rural New Mexican History, Mid Century, Family, Culture, Customs, Childhood, Mid 20th Century.
