Review:
"Mary Hood is not a good writer, she is a great writer."--Pat Conroy
"These stories are not folksy Old South, they're contemporary Americana, brilliantly conceived and brilliantly written. After savoring good tales well told, I re-read for the extra pleasure of seeing how she did it. I marveled."--Olive Ann Burns
"Beautifully written, with regional characters who turn out to be universal."--Los Angeles Times
"[A] marvelous collection."--New York Times
