Critical Praise

"Writing with extraordinary empathy and grace...Campbell raises to our ears a sound not heard often enough: the heartrending cry of the human heart in all its flawed complexity."

——Tony Earley

"The broad tableau of aluminum siding versus pig manure is rendered here with delicate, exacting strokes."

——Los Angeles Times

"A thoughtful, well-paced, deeply moral (though not moralizing) novel full of hard lessons and the wisdom gained from them across generations."

——Publisher's Weekly

"Campbell's spare, evocative prose is pure artistry, but her unusual characters and her unique way of linking the continuity of time with the land's inhabitants prove her a writer to watch."

——Denver Rocky Mountain News
