description: "It's the rare imagination that can spin a tale that not just encompasses the mysteries of auto-immune disease and the excesses of the Texas separatist movement, but makes of them a whole. Dodge pulls this off beautifully . . .'we label bits of ourselves the enemy so we can attack.' This is a political novel. In the end, it's all about power—in one iconic state of these United States, in a foreign land, in a hospital, in a marriage, in a jail, and in our scared souls, where the really big battles are waged. It's a great story." --Mike Bryan, author of Uneasy An Interstate Way of Knowledge and The Afterword "The remarkable adventure of a remarkable woman doctor—a story well told." --William Goetzmann, Pulitzer prize-winning author of Exploration and Empire "In Let Me See Kirsten Dodge gives us a glimpse into modern Texas that goes far beyond the usual stereotypes. Her narrator, Zoe Dempsey, a smart, likeable, sexy medical doctor, runs head on into conflicts with scientific rationalism, Texas Separatists, Mexican Federales, and, scariest of all, the FBI, in this highly intelligent first novel." --Don Graham, author of Kings of The 150-Year Saga of an American Ranching Empire "Searching for renewal, Zoe is swept—gradually at first, then suddenly—into a modern American version of Hades, where life and death intersect. This American Hades is sometimes bureaucratic, sometimes high-tech, but it transforms her as surely as though she'd fallen through time into the ancient myth." --Robert Gover, author of One Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding
