"[A] sparkling debut collection... features dreamers and schemers whose lives pulsate with wild hopes, hard luck, stunning secrets, and saving grace." -- Elle

With intensity, dark humor, and emotional precision, Kirstin Valdez Quade's unforgettable stories plunge us into the fierce, troubled hearts of characters defined by the desire to escape the past or else to plumb its depths. Set in northern New Mexico, Night at the Fiestas is a beautifully rendered debut about living in a land shaped by love, loss, and violence.
