Kathleen Patrick
"Patrick's prose is literary; thoughtful and evocative, stealthily drawing emotion from the reader."
"Patrick's words are deliberately sparse, and in this, she allows the reader a rare privilege: to imagine themselves in the precarious positions the characters are in." --JoAnn WX on Goodreads
