"Jerry Ellis is an ideal companion for a long ramble along the back roads of America. . . . He introduces us to a collection of characters―some of them welcoming, some of them weird―that are too vivid for mere fiction."―Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles Times)

"Ellis, like his Cherokee ancestors, treasures a good story. He writes lucidly, simply, about the people he met and the stories he was told. . . . He walked to discover himself and his ancestors; he came back with stories and with his own lessons."―Denver Post (Denver Post)
