Industry Reviews "The drama in Annalise's smart, tough, first-person narrative is understated; the spaces between the words are as eloquent as what is said about the wildness of the setting and about the human secrets." (05/15/2006)
"A heartfelt debut; a coming-of-age with a bit of pathos and a perilously climactic finale." (05/15/2006)
