"Cooper's stories beckon. It's as if she is patting the seat next to her, enticing us to come sit and listen as she tells complex tales about women, often poor women, chasing dreams of love, a house, and a family." -- "MS."
"Cooper is humorous, wise, self-deprecating, and always expressive...her stories are about simple truths told with great energy that makes them shine." -- "Kirkus Reviews"
"The stories are wonderful, very human tales that sparkle with warmth, humor, and, often, revenge." -- "Library Journal"
"Cooper's stories dramatize the wages of sin and the rewards of patience, as well as the occasional sweet taste of revenge." -- "Chicago Tribune"
