"Raney is a gem, and Raney Bell Shepherd is a captivating character—a female Huck Finn whose voyage of discovery takes her into the treacherous currents of marriage.This book is too good to keep to yourself. Read it aloud with someone you love, then send it to a friend. But be sure to keep a copy for yourself, because you'll want to read it again and again." —Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey

"Utterly beguiling. Raney lives beyond the pages of this short novel." —New York Times

"A real jewel." —Richmond Times-Disaptch
