Woking My Way Home: A Taos Story by Catherine Naylor

“This memoir by Catherine Naylor is a humorous, beautiful, poignant, remarkably sane and courageous story of a very difficult, and yet wondrous year she spent trying to find a home in an impossibly convoluted place—Taos, New Mexico. I read it in one sitting, swept along by much laughter and also a few tears. Almost every chapter on ‘the art of survival’ astonished me. Catherine took so many lickings, yet she kept on ticking! Her life journey during her first year in Taos reads like a kind of gentle Candide, with more pitfalls than you can possibly imagine. And yet they are all recounted with much insight, compassion, and lively humor that totally captured my heart as Catherine fell in love with her new home. I thank her from my captured heart for this wild odyssey. I wish she’d come back to Taos one day and sit down at Dori’s Bakery and Café with me for a cup of coffee and a Hash Brown Heaven, so that we could reminisce about old times. Those were the days, my friend, and, like this book, they were a remarkable piece of work.”
