• John Lane has long been recognized as one of the South's finest poets and memoirists. This debut establishes him as one of our finest novelists as well. His poet's eye for detail seamlessly merges with a born storyteller's gift for narrative. Fate Moreland's Widow gives voice to those who endured one of the most painful and neglected chapters in American history.

• I don't even have a choice. Rachel thought how that was pretty much true of everything now, that you got one choice at the beginning but if you didn't choose right, and she hadn't, things got narrow real quick. Like trying to wade a river, she thought. You take a wrong step and set your foot on a wobbly rock or in a drop-off and you're swept away, and all you can do then is try to survive.

• She realized that being starved for words was the same as being starved for food, because both left a hollow place inside you, a place you needed filled to make it through another day.

• Steve Yarbrough is a writer of many gifts, but what makes Safe from the Neighbors such a magnificent achievement is its moral complexity. . . . Safe from the Neighbors does what only the best novels can do; after reading it, we can never see the world, or ourselves, in quite the same way.

• Lo que hacía soportable la pérdida de un ser querido no era recordar, sino olvidar. Olvidar primero las pequeñas cosas... es increíble cuánto puedes olvidar, y todo lo que olvidabas hacía que esa persona estuviera menos viva dentro de ti hasta que finalmente podías soportarlo. Después de que pasara más tiempo podías permitirte recordar, incluso querer recordar. Pero incluso entonces lo que sentiste aquellos primeros días podía volver y recordarte que el dolor seguía ahí, como un viejo alambre de espino incrustado en el duramen de un árbol.
