--Pat Conroy
"THAT RAREST OF FINDS, AN UNSENTIMENTAL COMING-OF-AGE STORY, the novel is also an engrossing mystery. . . . We couldn't ask for more."

"Mark Childress is a writer of almost uncanny stylistic ability and clear vision. His eye for detail is extraordinary . . . makes you want to holler oh yeah! like a guy who's gotten religion at a riverside camp meeting."
--Stephen King
"Mr. Childress writes his haunting novel with poetic cadences in brief, intense chapters. . . . He is an author of imagination. . . . Stella's coming of age in grief and loneliness is drawn with graceful authenticity."
