Description: Reviewers say: "Ellipses, metaphor, the detail that speaks but never the whole story--Lynnette D'anna uses the devices of fiction with great skill. Through ritual telling, she marks out the boundaries of a sacred space rarely afforded true confession. While there is not an easy word in sing me no more, it is neither a sad nor even an angry book. It is a painful and loving one. It is necessary fiction."  James Hutchinson, Border Crossings.
 
"This is a story of human endurance, of the spirit caught in a maze of external abuse and self-rage, but refusing to be extinguished."  Patrick Friesen, Prairie Fire.

Cover Blurbs: "This brilliant and evocative novel traces the path of a woman through the confusion of abuse and addiction, to the painful air of sobriety. Nemah breathes with such honesty and dry humor that you'll love her, as I do." Crystos.

"Beautifully written, passionate and true prose. What fiction ought to be - moving, even searing, yet elegant in every way."  Elly Danica, Author of 'Don't: a Woman's Word.'
