REVIEWS: "Lace takes a familiar story... and suffuses it with intriguing family drama." "...energetic prose..." "this is an appealing novel with relatable, flawed characters." PW "Lace has woven a wonderful tale with themes and characters that are universal and recognizable. Such issues as a woman's personal sovereignty within a relationship, the oppressiveness, both subtle and overt, of patriarchy and the mixed blessings of liberation are explored. A wonderful, readable story, ideal for Summer reading. Kudos to Noreen Lace." Ron Terranova "Ms. Lace has written a novel that is both gritty and tender. Her ability to create very real characters with very real emotions makes this novel a satisfying read. What makes the short fiction of Noreen Lace stand out is, not only Lace's facility with language, but her ability to connect with her reader. She lays the soul of her characters at the feet of her readers and it's impossible not to respond. In her fiction, Ms Lace creates a world of darkness and warmth. Her characters, although flawed, find a way to triumph over the hand fate has dealt them, moving forward and rising up through enormous odds. The journey: there-in lies the tale." Jo Rousseau
