Read what other independent booksellers are saying about this novel. "A wonderful debut novel that is surprising in all the right ways. It's a love story, a celebration of the natural world, environmental statement, and a story of lifelong friendships. Though Barbara Kingsolver comes immediately to mind when looking for a comparison for Joyce Hinnefeld, I found that her voice was unique, and if you'll pardon the metaphor, as clear and bright as morning birdsong in early spring."

“Joyce Hinnenfeld’s deeply felt novel resonated with me in a number of ways. Like Addie I am a mid-Atlantic girl, born and bred and I enjoyed the homage paid to Bucks Country, Pennsylvania and the New Jersey coast, lovely and humble places. Addie could be somebody from my life; I knew many people who veered from hope to anger in those years where the political process was unresponsive to their concerns. Finally, there is a familiar mother/daughter relationship, a tangle of love and unspoken but deeply felt expectations.”
