Media Reviews
"Short, deceptively simple cameos...gently strung together with paired themes of fear and hope, death and growth, reveal the metamorphosis of daughter and father...[The] low-key, evocative style is the shining quality which sets this book apart. Through her understatedly elegant prose, readers come to know a beautiful person, easy to read about, but hard to forget."
