San Francisco Book Review, November 13, 2015 – posted on Amazon.com - This short book is powerful and the stories are moving, and it is a quick read. Toni Graham does an excellent job not making it a complete sob story, but showing that these people have lives; even if it is in the middle of Oklahoma. (Kevin Winter San Francisco Book Review)
