Praise
“Sincere, but not for the faint-hearted … redemption comes only on the very last page.”—The Guardian
“It’s unstinting in its portrayal of screwed-up family dynamics … and unflinching in its depiction of Larson’s experiences.”—Las Vegas Life
“There is much pain and horror in this story, but there is also much that’s beautiful, inspiring, and heartfelt. Descriptions of the desert are especially poignant and come from an obviously inspired writer.”—Creative Loafing
“Readers who grew up in the ‘50s (and Dorothy Allison fans of all ages) will be captivated by this account of a sad and soiled coming-of-age.”—Publishers Weekly
“For the reader with sufficient fortitude to stick with this grim story, there are rewards. Larson’s style is engaging, with believable dialogue and painterly detail that bring her surroundings to life.”—Women’s Review of Books
