“Smathers writes beautifully. She shares each of her characters and their worlds so fully. I felt like I was there with each of them. My heart went out to Paz, Connie, the boys who saw the coyote, Salvador Rodriguez and Heels.  I cried for Amy in Suburban Epidemic. I look forward to her next book.”
