“Brilliant literary endeavor…”

"This memoir now written into being composes a brilliant literary endeavor spanning the distance between the haunting tones of a southern gothic childhood and the symphonic splendor of mature feminine enlightenment. Clark's remembrance carries us in seemingly effortless ways upon the white-hot flame of narrative empowerment. This work is a delicately penned expression carried with care that compels us to engage with reverence the myriad past and present experiences that compose our own stories." Galen Leonhardy, Professor of English Midwest Community College, Illinois. Author of Skipping Stones: A Memoir of Teaching
