For Ana Pacheco, a longtime writer and historian, words cannot describe the appreciation she has for a city that raised her.  

Like many of the locals, Pacheco says growing up in Santa Fe nourished her soul with knowledge, culture and a sense of community that is hard to find in other places.   

From riding the elevator at the old St. Vincent’s Hospital for fun as a kid to seeing relationships sprout from all avenues, niche experiences like those carried Pacheco forward as she left and explored the world.  

When she eventually returned home, she realized the essence of the city had adapted, and it was time to preserve what once was for a generation that is to come. Her new book Only in Santa Fe helps achieve that goal.  

On the latest “Conversations Different” podcast, host Inez Russell Gomez is joined by Pacheco to discuss the book’s themes, why she chose to pursue a project with deep meaning and what readers can expect if they pick up a copy.  

In the episode, Pacheco also reflects on her other writing and publishing ventures which include a stint at The New Mexican as a columnist writing the famed column A Wonderful Life.
