"Sharleen Daugherty writes about her journey from corporate executive to a specialist in Navajo weaving with an honest voice and an open heart. She tells her own story with humor and humility. Daugherty is a fine writer and a worthy guide for anyone interested in learning more about the Diné from the perspective of an astute and non-judgmental observer."

- Anne Hillerman, author of: Song of the Lion and the best-selling Leaphorn/Chee/Manuelito mysteries

"My relationship with Ms. Daugherty has gone on for over one hundred years. From writer's coach to deep friend, we have traveled together...Her cross-culture journey, and her insistence on finding the core of that adventure, are recorded in this first book of the Double Doll series. Hers is the Beauty Way of a strong woman willing to dare."

-Michael Thunder, writer's coach

About the Author Sharleen Daugherty was eight years old when she received a ragdoll with a Navajo face on one end and an Anglo face on the other. This doll became a symbol of her journey into the Navajo world-the first step in the manifestations of a childhood prayer: Please God, turn me upside down and make me an Indian.
