Praise for this book
"Precise and gorgeous language... A wonderful sense of humor... Pathos made over into something much more effective -- a vision of all these people just doing the best they can. These are stunning stories... the kind that reveal, enlarge, and make living seem worth the trouble." - Dorothy Allison
