Listen to an interview with Sarah Gorham on WFPL in Louisville, KY.

"No collection is perfect. . . . but this book comes gloriously close."

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Gorham’s examples of perfection and imperfection are solidly embodied in a particular life: its physical environments, human attachments, and trials and tragedies. Things do fall apart. And when they do, we have the opportunity to see how our idea of perfect may need revision."

"Lin-Greenberg displays impressive insight into human nature and empathy for regular people trying to make sense of their lives and circumstances. She also possesses a nicely dry wit and a gift for realistic dialogue that pops off the page. Remember her name; she is a young writer worth watching."
