“I love a slim, rich book, and this here's one, its language tight, sizzling, thick with great sound and rhythm that poetically develops a tough and satisfying story about brothers, relationships and emotional and physical survival.

This comes through in each hot little vignette, and the overall impulse that drives you from one scene to the next as the boys and their parents navigate each other, themselves and their choices.”—Sarah N., Grass Roots Books & Music, Corvallis, OR.
