As passionate and eventful as an Irish ballad.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I laughed, I cried. I felt everything I remember feeling as a child.
Dolly Parton
Sheila Kay Adams can write the bark off a tree. . . . [Her] intimacy with mountain culture ranks with that of Lee Smith.
The Roanoke Times
Deeply satisfying storytelling propelled by the desires of full-bodied, prickly characters set against a landscape rendered in all its beauty and harshness.
Kirkus Reviews
Adams can make you laugh. And she can make you clear your throat and wipe at the corners of your eyes from emotion. This is no small thing. She has the gift.
