In poetic prose that tumbles and sparkles, Ann Decter deftly interweaves a social and political backdrop with an intense family drama. Jane Cammen journeys home to the prairie city of Muddy Water to dig for buried memories in a living landscape. Like a symbolic hand game of paper, scissors, rock; love, hate, and the quest for justice alternately dominate a story rooted in the land, family and history. A finely-crafted novel.
"A welcome first novel from a writer with vision."

"Beautifully written and its effect is haunting."

"A very engaging first novel from a strong writer - Decter's writing is stripped down yet evocative."
Xtra
"An incredibly powerful novel no reader will be able to forget."
