Named an Okra Pick by the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance

"Smith excels at creating characters somewhat boggled by the reality of who they've become-by their lovers and homes, their jobs and their cars, haircuts and bodies-and who, consequently, feel a pressing need to explain themselves to themselves. One thing they never doubt is the correctness of their opinions, especially concerning the proper standards of behavior for a Southern lady, and the failings of 'white trash.' Smith's humor is pointed but gentle; her characters may be priggish and narrow-minded, but they are never mean. [. . .] Such obsession with detail makes Smith's heroines both distinctively Southern and universally feminine." -Publishers Weekly
