Critics Review
“A vivid journey into the dark side of the American Dream… alternates between black comedy and heart-breaking realism… an enjoyable read that takes an important look at economic insecurity.” – Betty J. Cotter * Providence Journal * “Gritty and convincing…. A remarkably authentic story of folks on the skids… Weatherwax’s smart style, crisp narrative, sharp dialogue, and vivid descriptions send a powerful message: there is hope hidden in despair.” * Publishers Weekly * “A fresh voice that sculpts with words in a way that’s as beautiful as it is brutal. I love this story and the hands that crafted it.” – Patricia Cornwell
