Critics Review
Intimate…unflinching. Very tough to put down.
Intimate…unflinching. Very tough to put down. * Pam Houston, “O” The Oprah Magazine *It’s funny and sad and redemptive. Read it now.

First-time novelist Ward explores this question with a delicate blend of compassion, humour and realism…Her spare but psychologically rich portraits are utterly convincing. * Publishers Weekly *
