What stands out about a person when they're gone?

Carol Lafavor died in 2011, but her legacy is that of a pioneer in the places where gender, sexuality, social justice, HIV/AIDS awareness and being Native intersect.

Those things are all good and interesting to know about the author, but when you open her books, Along the Journey River or Evil Dead Center, you just fall into a really good mystery story.
