Review
"This novel packs an emotional punch that sneaks up from behind...Fromm creates an engrossing coming-of-age saga that cuts to the essence and shines." --"Seattle Times"
"One of the more startling beautiful and evocative tales of young womanhood...Fromm's voice-on loan to Lucy-is provocative, gritty, erotic, hilarious and genuine, and this book is a fresh breath of teen spirit."
--Ron Franscell, "San Francisco Chronicle"
"Deceptively simple and so artfully constructed it takes you someplace far deeper than you expected....Lucy Diamond is the kind of woman Johnny Cash might have memorialized with his graveyard croon....A novel of great drive and soul."
--Carlo Wolff, "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"
