This is a book that will reach your soul.

If this book doesn't reach your soul, then you don't have one. The stories contain beautifully drawn charactors we all can relate to. Dodd has a natural talent that has obviously been well-honed.

This is one of the finest books I have read in years. Dodd has a remarkable sense of her characters that shines through in each story. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Beautiful work.
