Praise for Ms. Klassen’s work:
"In her impressive first collection of short stories…[she] explores human spirituality through a series of meditative portraits." – Quill & Quire
"It is not difficult to imagine, however, that this collection of short fiction will launch for Klassen a much deserved national reputation and readership – one that will extend far beyond the Mennonite community that has clearly helped her develop into such a fine and eloquent writer." – The Winnipeg Free Press
