"Marvelous, spiritually charged fiction, an example of the contemporary American novel at its best." --Christopher Tilghman, The Los Angeles Times Book Review
"A haunting tale . . . Ivy Slovak's life is not one a reader will soon forget." --Roxanna Robinson, The New York Times Book Review
"Morris's novel joins a rich literary tradition of women who, in the absence of mothers, flounder in their search for womanhood, who are fused to phantoms they fear they will never shake off." --Barbara Lazear Ascher, The Washington Post Book World
"A quiet celebration of motherhood--and fatherhood, too. Told in eloquent, vivid snatches, it's a fast-paced yet deeply moral story that stimulates and satisfies the mind, emotions, and imagination." --Jean Patterson, Orlando Sentinel
"A mother's coming of age novel...Morris is too accomplished to write a surface account . . . [She] goes deeper to explore love and loss and coming to terms with one's past." --Philadelphia Inquirer
"One gutsy woman and one fantastic writer." --Louise Bernikow, Cosmopoliltan
"Morris here creates a sensitive, intriguing, and touching portrait of a single mother struggling with eternal issues that are given a timely twist." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Morris inhabits Ivy with an intensity and clarity of vision that makes this a story at once tough, sad, and honest, yet at the same time hauntingly beautiful." --Stuart Dybek
"Morris delves into the ordeal of motherhood and penetrates its mysteries. On view here is the mastery of a writer in her prime, revealed in the palpable restraint of the writing and the hypnotic tempo of a commanding story." --Booklist
"Morris perfectly captures the strains of solo child rearing. And she celebrates the ability of a woman to navigate without a mate, creating alternative forms of solace and power." --New Woman
"Morris's novel joins a rich literary tradition of women who, in the absence of mothers, flounder in their search for womanhood, who are fused to phantoms they fear they will never shake off." --Barbara Lazear Ascher, The Washington Post Book World
