"Going through these pages quickly would be like chug-a-lugging a jar of honey fresh from the comb, or wolfing down a slow-cured, hickory-smoked country ham. It is a rich and complexly flavored work of fiction, a book to be savored". -- Harper Barnes, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Set against the rhythms of nature, Fields's 16 luminous, interrelated stories celebrate a boy's coming-of-age....The beauty of these deeply felt stories lies in their spare, ear-perfect language and in quiet epiphanies". -- Publishers Weekly
"(A) beautifully subtle work....Here are a series of vignettes, each capturing some moment in nature, poetic and ethereal....(They) are like stones skipping on water, capturing the struggles of a family leaving one way of life behind for another. Fields remembers the feeling of a time and a place gone forever". -- Library Journal
