4.0 out of 5 starsWonderfu! I learned something
By Irene I. Blea on December 7, 2011
Format: Paperback
I'm a native New Mexican and often write about the land of my birth. I thought I knew the story of La Conquistadora. However, I've just finished reading Sue Houser's new book, La Conquistadora (Sunstone Press). It is wonderful! The book puts into historical perspective the story of the statue of the Virgin Mary and how it came to the "New World." I knew most of the saint's history, its journey into New Mexico and how the residents of the state where enchanted with her. However, I did not know the contemporary, international, story of the saint so elegantly displayed in the Catholic Cathedral and Basilica in Santa Fe. The Lady is not only internationally famous, but she has a rich wardrobe; and as Ms. Houser notes, a collection of jewlery worthy of a queen. Further, the photos in the book are lovely, done with reverance; and the stories of people devoted to the Queen of New Mexico are spiritually motivating. I want to visit the blessed statue again because now I know of her fame outside of New Mexico and the stories of those that construct and donate to her wardrobe; some of them are famous. Do yourself a favor, find out why Sue Houser has joined thousands of people who lost their heart to the much loved virgencita. Enjoy the insights gained in this book. Blessings

I heard of this book but couldn't find it. Yes! Amazon.com! I ordered four for family and friends. Now I am asked to get more for their friends. Interesting and easy reading! Now I am planning a trip to Santa Fe to see La Conquistadora. What great research for such an interesting, old statue!

5.0 out of 5 starsand beautiful dresses and their makers for those interested in art
By c johnson on June 25, 2015
Format: Paperback
Sue Houser has certainly gifted us with her stories of La Conquistadora, which add depth and understanding to the history of New Mexico. This statue represents far more than a representation of the Virgin Mary, she also sheds light on those people who followed her on her faith journeys from Spain to Santa Fe, to El Paso and back again. No wonder she is held in such high regard! Houser deftly weaves the history of the church, the people and the image into a fascinating tale brimming with fires, rough roads and a kidnapping for the adventurous, and beautiful dresses and their makers for those interested in art. This quiet little book will be a blessing
