It's Wrong!

From a 2023 article by Celia McGee in The Times:

Last year‌ Fajardo-Anstine published‌ “Woman of Light,” a novel ranging from Southwestern ancestral homelands to a 1930s Denver dominated by a murderous white elite, which became a ‌best seller.

‌ And from Peter Heller’s 2024 Book Review feature, Read Your Way Through Denver:

Kali Fajardo-Anstine’s luminous contemporary fiction spans generations of Coloradans and is rooted in her Chicana and Indigenous heritage. Her novel, “Woman of Light,” and her short story collection, “Sabrina & Corina,” are tender, often delicate and entertaining as they ride on a current of fury over decades of oppression, racism and sexual violence. Connection to the land and to family is a constant source of strength in these narratives: Many of them are set in Denver — when you get here, you’ll recognize the locales — and the layering of suffering, past and present, is powerful.
