Review
"An original, peculiarly American story. McPhee writes with assurance. Her story flows smoothly, and she dissects her characters kindly."
"Funny and acerbic. Melds The Bobbsey Twins with On the Road."
"If you're looking for a fresh voice, try Martha McPhee's first novel . . . Whip-smart."
"Full of beautiful writing and dead-on observations about the era that spawned broken families and broken hearts."
"Told with great verve and poetic sweep, a wise, pointed, utterly absorbing childhood narrative--honest, and above all, original."
"Sometimes funny, sometimes harrowing. İit¨ quietly and gracefully finds a resting place in the reader's heart." -- Tim O'Brien "Author of A LAKE IN THE WOODS"
