From Publishers Weekly
In the 1950s, in Katydid, Ill., a sexual impropriety committed while babysitting turns 16-year-old Martha's life upside down. "Babcock, a fine writer with an unsparing eye for detail and an acute ear for speech patterns, makes both the simplicity and the narrowness of small-town life come alive with this humorous, rueful and thoughtful novel," praised PW .
