About this ebook
Writing so effortless it reads like a leaf drifting on water. Language churns quietly at times, folding in on itself like batter, waiting until the end, where delicious resolution is served...
...Fiction at its best. Literature at its finest. ~ J. Thomas Meador

The result is a series of stories fuelled by references to alcohol, changing senses of place and people, and relationships that move from family to lovers and friends. From the magic of childhood to the inspections of adulthood, Anna-Langston creates a medley of feelings superimposed on experience to delight the mind and heart. ~ D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
