Critical Praise

"Diane Hammond is a fabulous storyteller. Her portrait of small town life is full of humor and detail, and in her characters Petie and Rose, a relationship so original and real, you root for them from page one. I loved this heartfelt story and I am sure you will too."

——Adriana Trigiani, author of the Big Stone Gap trilogy and Lucia, Lucia

"In this remarkable first novel, Diane Hammond brilliantly captures the subtle nuances of everyday life in a small Oregon town and the friendship between two extraordinary women. Funny, heartbreaking and wise."

——Fannie Flagg, author of Fried Green Tomatoes
