Summary
When Catherine Tudish’s story collection Tenney’s Landing was published in 2005, Margot Livesey said Tudish “casts an irresistible spell” and David Huddle said, “Tenney’s Landing conjures up a place and a people with that magical vividness we found in Porter, Welty, Cheever, and Updike.” Here, in her first novel, Tudish has fashioned a masterful and intimate portrait of a woman returning, midlife, to the small farming community where she grew up.

Critics Review
“In the tradition of Wallace Stegner, Thornton Wilder, and Kent Haruf, Catherine Tudish explores small-town and rural life in America with clear-eyed honesty, loving care, and great wisdom. American Cream is the story of Virginia Rownd, a remarkable woman who, in midlife, returns to her hometown in western Pennsylvania. Virginia discovers, as we all must, that ‘one person can’t live two lives.’ Written with quiet elegance, American Cream is a masterful novel, alive with fine characters, surprising scenes, and insightful observations that come only with deep life experience and deep compassion for one’s fellow men and women.”
– Howard Frank Mosher, author of On Kingdom Mountain and Disappearances
