This author did a great job with characterization in this novel. All of the characters are so clear cut and distinctive, there were several I wanted to read more about. A good story and a great discussion piece in any book club.

Saying Lu Vickers is a very descriptive writer is like saying Water is wet. Her story envelops you with the smells, sounds and sights of North Florida. Emotions are as smothering as swamp water. Connie Baily

For those of us who grew up in small town North Florida, this fine portrait of life in '60-'70's Chattahoochee awakened mixed memories. Very clear and pungent prose.

What a beautifully-crafted novel: a distillation of Southern small town yearning, dreams,humor,darkness. Layers of unexpected twists and turns run through the writing; images of both the underwater and above ground life add depth. I highly recommend this lyrical, smooth novel-
