"Many readers know Maida Tilchen as a top-flight journalist and historian, whose deeply intelligent interviews and essays have engaged her audience for decades. But this is her first foray into historical fiction, and she has chosen a time—the early 20th Century; and a place—the American Southwest—which cast a net of enchantment around her intriguing cast. Here is fiercely shielded Navajo treasure, the interweaving of distant cultures, religious hellfire, and all the delicate and explosive power of forbidden love. Historical characters move through the rooms of story—Georgia O’Keefe, Willa Cather, Herman Schweizer—to mingle there with the singular humans whom Tilchen infuses with vivid life. Her journalist’s skills give her story-telling precision and insight, and her heart supplies the empathy. Not of a mind to fall in love just now? Not even with these spellbinding people, enmeshed in the stark beauty of the Land Without Maps? Let Maida Tilchen seduce you."
-- Ann Bannon, author of The Beebo Brinker Chronicles
"Maida Tilchen has given us a novel that joins a deep knowledge of New Mexico’s landscape and history with the story of women who act against the cultural restraints of their time. Anchored by the experiences of the photographer Laura Gilpin, Land Beyond Maps offers unique insight into a world whose mixed beauty and challenges continue to color our perception of the American Southwest. Read and enjoy."
-- Summer Wood, author of Arroyo
