Mitch Wieland’s stories have great breadth, powerful sympathies, and a renewing comprehension of our human selves which we only find in the best literature.
Richard Ford
Through the brevity born of perfectly chosen words, and through the pervasive intimations of hope, Wieland transforms this story of lives on the edge of ordinary into a psalm.
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Transcendent portrait . . . spellbinding.
Booklist (starred review)
Immensely moving.
