Review Quotes:
"Porter does not shirk from the difficult when the story requires it. This is an enjoyable journey through American history, as well as a study in the many quirks and farthest reaches of the human heart." Laurel Corona, author, The Four Seasons, The Mapmaker's Daughter
"It is a credit to Porter's writing ability that each voice is so distinctly different from the others and done with great attention to the vocabulary, culture, and jargon of each time period and social class. In the background, she adds the context of the larger political, social, and historical events of each era..." Delin Colon, author, Rasputin and The Jews: A Reversal of History
