I happened upon this book accidentally, and it immediately became one of my top five favorite books. Ms. Hill has an extraordinary gift of language. In this collection of short stories, she uses a variety of topics and settings, but she makes you feel as though that person were writing it and not a mother of twelve who lives in Iowa (per her bio)!! My favorites are the stories set in Louisiana-they have a depth and sadness and humor that is as palpable as water in Louisiana air. I do not feel that I can do Ms. Hill justice in this review, but the language, as I mentioned is phenomenal...Ms. Hill has an incredible talent for the short story. This is a book that I read over and over again.
