"Heather Woodbury pegs us Americans, our society, our ever hopeful sad anemic hearts and our breakable resilient bones. Often, I caught myself in the middle of a laugh, thinking, that's so funny, it's sad. It was not a book I could put down. It is not a book I'll soon forget."
--Beverley Donofrio, author of Riding in Cars with Boys

"This gorgeous vision of real city dwellers is filled with depth, joy, and a loving , complex point of view that you cannot find in mainstream entertainment. An American Gothic for the rest of us."
