The tone is beleaguered but upbeat; the content is serious. Ellen Hawley’s two previous novels with small presses: Open Line (Coffee House Press, 2008) and Trips Sheets (Milkweed Editions,1998) were praised for being '…well-written, fast-paced with believable characters…' and '…characterizations' [that] are flawless…"
