Industry Reviews "Robert Inman is a storyteller perched between the Old South and the New, a writer whose characters wrestle with tradition as they try to shape their futures....Mr. Inman tells this story with humor, compassion and a sense of baffling sadness at the ways relationships can go wrong." New York Times Book Review - Linda Barrett Osborne (05/11/1997)
