Northern New Mexico's predominant Hispanic community has created powerful and poignant roadside memorials, known as descansos, to commemorate loved ones lost in automobile accidents. Mortal Highway provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of these families as they find solace in creating increasingly elaborate works of art that serve as a means of expressing their grief. Through a combination of photographs and verse, the book offers a profound exploration of the emotional journey these families undertake in the aftermath of loss.
