"Excellent...Beautiful portrayals...Dazzling." -- Chicago Tribune
"Lee Smith strikes dead center the nerves of women's lives and does it with a grace and style that make her one of the writers to watch most closely." -- The Houston Post
"Smith has a perfect voice, incorporating hints of both refinement and shabbiness. Quite simply, excellent writing." -- Booklist
