They are authentic.”— Oklahoma City Oklahoman“Uplifting … finely honed.”— Dallas Morning News“Marvelous.”—Billie Letts“Two enchanting characters … at once utterly unique and resonantly universal. A book rich in story and brimming with humanity.”—Robert Olen ButlerGwen is sloppy and sexual, Lila is orderly and chaste. They scrap like kids and war like women.
