Small Damages: The New York Journal of Books Review

This late afternoon I extend my deep gratitude to Renee Fountain, for her thoughtful review of Small Damages in the New York Journal of Books.

I am honored to be in those pages.  I am grateful to Renee for her understanding of Kenzie and of Kenzie's love for her unborn baby.  Perhaps, as I told a friend not long ago, I was aching to write about maternal love when Kenzie stepped into my life.  Perhaps I miss those early mothering years.  It means so much when a reader makes room for the emotions I had as I wrote.

The review is sub-titled with the words below.  The whole can be found here. 

“Realistic . . . rendered in a quiet prose that speaks volumes.”

Thank you, Jess Shoffel, for letting me know.
