“Huff's characters occupy the edges, the rich ecotones between city and rural, wealthy and poor, native and wandering, needy and full. They are also buffeted by the fates, living and dying not by chance but as organized by some all-seeing, -knowing, -powerful hand with a sardonic sense of irony and humor.”
-Stephen Lewandowski, author of Under Foot
“A cornucopia of marvelous and various Americana. Huff’s fictions sometimes shock, never cheat, always instruct, and persist in the memory, as real as the best and worst days of our lives.”
“A fascinating glimpse into one seeker’s exploration of her past and future lives under the watchful care of her spirit guide, Fortune. Well-written in a clear and candid style, the author weaves a delightful story that eases the reader through complex and multilayered realities. Vivid first-person accounts of Bodien’s other lives evoke pathos as the reader experiences their sorrows and triumphs. ”
