The author has captured Lucy and members of her family, their life, and their art with candor and affection.  The 225 color and 127 black-and-white plates for the first time present Lucy Lewis and her family’s pots, selected historical Acoma pots, a glimpse of Acoma pueblo and its life, and documentation of the traditional pottery techniques.  Here is a rare record of one of America’s “Living treasures.”
