Customer Reviews

Beautifully and powerfully written.

The author has an elegant yet straightforward style, as she recounts a "big" story set in a disarmingly charming small town. She interweaves the broad political story with very human and personal vignettes. The result is a book that is easy to read, hard to put down, and will linger in your thoughts long afterwards.

Straight but not Narrow

As a straight person with many gay friends, I could not help but to be touched by Quinn's passion for the civil rights issue going on in regards to gay marriage. She somehow managed to take a hot, controversial topic and turn it into a well-written story that anyone would enjoy. Her humorous style of writing coupled with the seriousness of the issue make this a delightful and exciting book. A must read!
