Critical Praise

"Quite original...[Scofield] shows an extraordinary understanding of the power of absence...Redolent of Mary Karr's memoir, The Liar's Club."

——Chicago Tribune

"Scofield's sense of history and of place is unfaltering, unflagging...She subtly combines humor and pathos in all her observation."

——Boston Sunday Globe

"Genuinely moving...Compelling...Few writers capture feelings of yearning and disappointment as palpably as Scofield."

——Newsday

"Lushly described and poignantly rendered...a moving and accomplished tale."

——Detroit Free Press
