The darkly funny tales in Jillian in the Borderlands feature visionary experiences, ghosts, faith healers, a deer's head that speaks, a dog who channels spirits of the dead-- and a young woman whose drawings begin to create realities instead of just reflecting them. " Immediately, in the first tale," reviewer Kathryn Ordiway writes, "the reader is plunged into Jillian's world, a hallucinatory one of ghosts and eternal knowledge, but also a familiar one, filled with deportations and racial injustice and men girls are told to stay away from. . . There isn't a moment in these stories where you don't feel the vein connecting Jillian's world to our own." Chosen by The Rumpus for their list of "What to read when you want to celebrate Women's History."
