Review:

"A bittersweet comedy with a fine sharp edge."

Kirkus, 07/01/2002

Review:

"Baby is nowhere near as interesting as the other characters....The numerous flashbacks devoted to her accumulate a heavy, insidery weight that the reader can't fully participate in. Yes, those must have been some heady days, we agree, but we get this sense more through coercion than true feeling....Smith...is perhaps best known for her nuanced portraits of gritty, often dirt-poor Appalachian women. It's a pleasure to see her directing her talents to a different class of women with a different set of concerns."

Sarah Towers, New York Times Book Review, 10/06/2002
