“Beth Alvarado’s splendid first book burns with the landscape of the Southwest and the quiet passions of its characters. Potent and darkly beautiful, these are unforgettable stories that haunt us long after the book is closed. Not a Matter of Love is a marvelous debut!”—Karen Brennan, author of Being With Rachel and The Garden in Which I Walk

“This is serious, beautiful work.”—Antonya Nelson, author of Female Trouble and Living to Tell
