"The title…is exact and appropriate.…one of the best realized fictional characters I know.  Scott Doyle has created a contrary, complex woman with intellect, vitality and conflicting sets of emotions, sometimes self-serving, sometimes self-sacrificing.  She is human, she is genuine, she is infuriating.  I cherish and talk back to these stories."  Lou Mathews  "Scott Doyle's words are quiet, precise and beautiful, and his stories take you straight into their world to move and haunt you with characters that are warm, funny and painfully human."  Alicia Gifford "A beautiful short story writer."  Rachel Resnick
