"...is enthralling. When a local schoolteacher is murdered, family
values and ethical choices clash in this small Eastern Oregon town.
The Wade family, having only recently moved to Baker City,
unwillingly becomes deeply involved in solving the murder. I highly
recommend this book."Betty Kuhl, Betty's Books, Baker City,
Oregon"...is a clear cut above much of the mystery genre with its
fine period detail and its clean, fast-moving narrative. Like
Harper Lee, Wright explore[s] much of what makes real tragedy in
our lives: the violence of memory, the loss of innocent
perspective, the fractured trust in intimate relationships and our
human tendency to reduce what threatens us into simplistic and
often erroneous interpretations."Barbara J. Scot, New York Times
Notable Author
of A Prairie Reunion and Stations at Still Creek"...is a
fascinating trip through the psyche of a young boy as he struggles
to understand a very adult world... Wright evokes simpler times in
simpler places, yet this story is anything but simple. I found it
enjoyable and...with the insights of a writer at home with his
material."Loretta Stinson, Graduate Editor
Portland State University Publishing Program"...brings back the
simple days of an Eastern Oregon boyhood, along with things which
are not so simple--murder, suspicion, and family loyalty. Highly
readable."Nicole Mones, author of Lost in Translation and A Cup of
Light
