Advance Praise

“A taut, compelling family tale.” 

—Kirkus Reviews


“Heather Christie proves that a good story is even better when the writing is fluid and smart and deeply felt.

-Sandra Scofield, National Book Award Finalist, author of The Last Draft: A Novelist’s Guide to Revision, and Swim: Stories of the Sixties.
