"Ms. Sanders' writing [is] sweet, genuine, comic, unsentimental but eternally forgiving. . . . Indeed, something to delight in, a fresh wind above the stale cynicism that spoils so much of contemporary literature."—Dallas Morning News

"This story belongs to Mae Lee Barnesand reflects a life punctuated by the births, graduations, weddings and deaths that shape our memories. . . .
