Reviews

"Daugherty combines the serious and literary with the funny and offbeat, resulting in sparkle-plenty prose with an ear for dialogue that never fails."
--Beverly Lowry

[Daugherty's fiction] "leaves us dry-eyed and wiser in that place far beyond tears that we know from our own lives."
--Shelby Hearon
