Review Quotes
"Andrew Bernstein is one of the great writers of our time - maybe, any time. In his latest collection of stories, he takes hold of the reader by the emotions and tours the soul through a dazzling spectacle of tragedy, heartache, inspiration, and heroism. You will weep, you will agonize -- but you will also experience the potential of the human mind and heart at its finest -- and, thus, you will be moved. This is yet another display of literary artistry in its highest form from a writer of subtle genius."
James Valliant, author of Creating Christ: How Roman Emperors Invented Christianity
