Critical Praise

"[Bragg has] a true gift for great storytelling (the kind that makes you think it’s just a plain old story, until he gets to the end and you’re either weeping or covered with goosebumps)."

——New Orleans Times-Picayune

"As toothsome as a catfish supper. [Bragg] is every bit the equal of . . . Harper Lee and Truman Capote."

——People

"Earthy, mischievous, yet gorgeous. . . . [Bragg’s] tales . . . would not be out of place if they were told around a campfire."

——San Francisco Chronicle

"Grab[s] you from the first sentence [and] stays with you long after you put it down. It is hard to think of a writer who reminds us more forcefully and wonderfully of what people and families are all about."

——The New York Times Book Review
