"This is prose as joyful and complex as the joy it describes. Expect to levitate along with the characters."
Leigh Newman,
Oprah's Book Club 2.0 "Out of Peel Tree is an amazing book, alive with the enchantments of language and perception. Through one family's experience of love, luck, and the meaning of home, Laura Long's vibrant prose turns barebones, slim-hope existence into something capacious, endowing her characters and their adventures with richness and depth."
