"A delightful and rewarding novel, with moments of startling beauty
... Pollen is entirely in control of her material, perfectly pacing
the book to tantalizingly unravel secrets. The setting is as
enigmatic as the eccentric characters.... Successfully marries
literary and commercial fiction ... compelling ... intelligent and
provocative." -- Kim Aikman
"A sensitive tale of decamping to Arizona, getting caught up in an
illegal immigrant run and needing to face reality. Highly
recommended."
"A wittily written story ... As author Bella Pollen adds unforeseen
twists and turns, Alice is forced to the very edge of reason. You
can be assured of a sophisticated yet gripping page-turner."
"Effortlessly readable, this is an engrossing novel about love,
alienation, and political intrigue.... Pollen perfectly captures
the emotional turbulence of her heroine and the unforgiving beauty
of this arid territory." -- Simon Humphreys
"Gripping and a good story ... Has all the best things about cowboy
books. [Pollen] has a way with words--specifically children's
words, which is really rare."
"Unexpectedly warm and witty while depicting the tough life of
illegal immigrants and the ruthlessness of those out to expose
them." -- Sarah Broadhurst
