"Kathleen Patrick portrays humanity at its flawed forst and inspiring best."
"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
