Critical Praise

"This remains a solid read, sure to please readers who enjoy Southern fiction."

——Library Journal

"Fueled by irresistable, page-turning questions."

——San Francisco Chronicle

"An assured fiction debut...Like Richard Russo's novel Empire Falls, it smartly dissects and dynamics of small-town relationships and the interplay between prominent families and the less powerful over several generations...carefully constructed...you'll fall for "Swan."

——USA Today

"Loaded with finely-drawn minor characters and the alluring atmosphere of the American South, Swan is a well-paced...entertainment."

——New York Times Book Review
