Elizabeth Fackler’s apt depiction of Miss Garrett’s historically-true character is based on archival documents, interviews with former friends, and profound insights into the world of the unseeing. Ruth Hall’s biography of Elizabeth Garrett, “A Place of Her Own,” also published by Sunstone Press, is a fitting companion to Fackler’s compelling work. Elizabeth Fackler’s historical novel, “Billy the Kid: The Legend of El Chivato,” also from Sunstone Press, was called “a magnificent achievement in historical fiction” by Western Writers of America. Her novel “Bone Justice” was a finalist in the 2007 New Mexico Book Awards.
