Review Quotes: The House at the End of the Road finds its truth in between conventional wisdom and sociological presumption, in between lies and faulty history. It is a story of race, of family, of place itself, and it tells us that compassion and the stirring force of individual human endeavor finally mean more than anything.--Richard Ford, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist
