  • EDITORIAL REVIEWS

From a place where you don't have to run away to find yourself, this novel's young heroine, Berry, joins the ranks of other memorable and spirited girl narrators such as Bone in "Bastard Out of Carolina," Kaye Gibbon's "Ellen Foster," Lily Owens in "The Secret Life of Bees," and Scout from "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Nanci Kincaid is the author of Crossing Blood, Balls, Pretending the Bed Is a Raft (made into the feature film My Life Without Me), Verbena, and As Hot as it Was You Ought to Thank Me.She divides her time between San Jose and Honolulu.

"Snakebites, chain gangs, wayward preachers, exploratory sex, a tornado, RC Cola--this is just the sort of novel Harper Lee would proudly claim as her own. The voice struck me as entirely authentic, no false notes anywhere. I thoroughly enjoyed it."
