"...Newbrough's thematic concept carries weight: She makes clear how intellectual and emotional lives can transcend generations and how losses can be both permanent and permeable." KIRKUS REVIEWS "This electrifying collection condenses whole lives into short tales. We feel an intimacy with the narrators through as they struggle with crime, illness, death, retirement and infidelity. What makes this collection stand out is not only the prose and pacing, the developed characters, or Newbrough's ability to capture, through the right amount of detail, the essence of place and its impact on its people, but also the plots themselves. Each reveals the dance between age and youth; between the past and the present, between what will pass away and what will pass on to new generations." Cynthia Kane (Pre-Press Reviews) "Thumbs up to ride in this womanist world-open road ahead, youth in the rear view mirror. These women want freedom-freedom for a big white dog, for the criminal, for a mother's art, for themselves, and for those they love. Any hitchhiker free enough to sit on a ghost lap, ride out Katrina, and catch a little Mardi Gras, stick out your thumb." Jo LeCoeur, author of Blue New Orleans and Medicine Woods "Engaging glimpses into the trials, transitions, and triumphs of women... convincing and compelling, building to surprising conclusions." Carolyn Merchant, author of Death of Nature
