Industry Reviews "Told in elegant free verse, BURNED envelopes the reader in Pattyn's highs and lows, her gradual opening to love, and her bouts of rage, confusion, and doubt...A troubling but beautifully written novel." (06/01/2006)
"Hopkins's incisive verses sometimes read in several directions as they paint the beautiful Nevada desert and the consequences of both nuclear testing at Yucca Mountain and Pattyn's tragic family history. Sharp and heartbreaking." (04/01/2006)
