"Covering the years 1942-62, Boil My Heart for Me is a description H. Baxter Liebler's life in the remote Utah strip at mid-century. Liebler's humorous, self-effacing account describes the establishment of St. Christopher's, day-to-day encounters with local Navajos and Anglos, and his efforts in the face of endless adversity to mediate the enormous gap between two cultures. In his spiritual work, Liebler combined Christian and Native American approaches, walking a fine line between Anglo and traditional Navajo values. This story is an essential piece in the mosaic of Four Corners history."--Back cover.
