Raw Silk Suture gets rave review

"Raw Silk Suture" lives up to its name. This book is the marriage between that which aggravates and that which soothes the body and soul. There's no picking and choosing; there's only the dealing with all things beautiful and all things hurtful. It's called life, it's called survival: "Yes, / I am here, / even now."

The review for Lisa Alvarado's books appears here in ElPasotimes.com and is by Rigoberto Gonzalez.
