"Graceful. . . . Beautiful. . . . Provocative."–USA Today "Garcia writes with humor, tenderness and an intuitive sense of how ordinary people weather fortune's turns. If you long for a 'handbook' that reveals how ordinary people become extraordinary, you are in luck."–New York Daily News "A magically lyrical meditation on life and human dreams . . . García [is] a poet of imagery and metaphor." –Elle"Pitch-perfect . . .. García is still drawn to describe the richness and variety of the immigrant experience. . . . [But] she also fixes her attention on the fundamentally human desire to make sense of the world, to impose order on the chaos of nature and to rationalize one's mysterious place within it." –Chicago Tribune
