"This man is a wonderful writer. . . . I can honestly say I love to read his stories. He never exaggerates, never manipulates the reader's affections, but nonetheless he always captures the heart."--James Lee Burke
"Moving and memorable . . . The gifted Gautreaux harkens back to the early work of Flannery O'Connor."--Kirkus Reviews
"As good as stories get--any stories, in any time or palce . . . Imbued with the cich roux of family, place, race, and religion that is the base of all good Souther fiction."--The Times-Picayune
"Gautreaux is as good a storyteller as just about anyone writing short fiction in America today."--The Boston Phoenix
