Review:
''One of the best books I've read in a long, long while.'' --Lisa Jackson, New York Times bestselling author
''A masterful coming-of-age gem.'' --Deborah Crombie, New York Times bestselling author
''Hiebert's first novel courts comparison to the classic To Kill a Mockingbird. . . In Hiebert's sure hands, psychological insight and restrained lyricism combine to create a coming-of-age tale as devastating as it is indelible.'' --Publishers Weekly(starred review)
''A trip to the dark side of a town much like Mayberry, filled with that elusive quality of childhood and the aura of safety that often settles, unjustifiably, over rural small towns in the South'' --Carolyn Haines, 2010 recipient of the Harper Lee Award
''There's something mesmerizing about Hiebert's storytelling voice, low-pitched and lightly musical.'' --New York Times Book Review
