- "Suburban-raised Stephen Bodio travels to Magdalena, New Mexico, in the 1970s and never leaves. Soon finding a two-story home along the highway, Bodio settles into a country life, explaining in vivid detail his time spent among the wilderness. A lover of nature, Bodio finds himself the center of his neighbors' attention when they discover his endless knowledge of the local fauna: snakes, birds, and dogs. Bodio soon falls in love with Betsy Huntington, a woman twenty years his senior, and the two became inseparable until her death some years later. It's through Bodio that her story is painted in such memorable passages that soon captivate readers. Together the two make their home among the mountains of New Mexico, returning to a simple life of hunting, attending cockfights, and becoming acquainted with the local reptiles and insects of the desert, as well as attending the biggest festival on the calendar: the Annual Quemado Street Dance and Brawl. From the Spanish term meaning one's true home, Querencia captivates and settles the heart. It is an astonishing read for those looking for an escape from the hustle of the big city, or just seeking to find solitude in the country life."

A lover of nature, Bodio here explains in vivid detail his time spent in the wilderness. He found himself the center of his neighbors' attention when they discovered his endless fascination with the local fauna, from snakes and birds to coursing dogs. He became accustomed to Magdalena through the people and wildlife, even joining in the biggest festival on the calendar: the Quemado Rodeo, better known by locals as the Street Dance and Brawl.
