“Morris’ nearly flawless prose is mesmerizing. . . . Ultimately, [she] demonstrates how both poverty and greed sicken the soul, and how those who cling to love against all odds are redeemed.” —Booklist

Praise for Mary McGarry Morris
“A writer to reckon with.” —The New York Times Book Review
“A master storyteller.” —USA Today
“There are few contemporary authors whose work can absorb readers so fully and with such immediacy that the line between character and reader begins to seem dangerously thin. Among these few is the brilliant Mary McGarry Morris.” —Los Angeles Times
