Industry Reviews
"The illustrations are from oil paintings and are so rich they're almost lush. They have Edward Hopper's qualities of openness, space, and the silent loneliness of solitary buildings and figures in a vast American landscape....The cadence of language is that of prose which flows like poetry. Language and picture together create a wealth of intriguing detail, the kind that enrich stories and make them memorable."
Small Press - Judith Nasse
"This is a poignant tale of a difficult time in US history; the sentiments are underplayed, rendering them more powerful than if they'd been milked for effect."
Kirkus Reviews (12/15/1995)
