From Publishers Weekly: Suffused, appropriately, with imagery of the natural and man-made
worlds, Rockcastle's skillful pacing weaves together the family's
tumultuous history with its uncertain present. A mature love story
offering a clear-eyed glimpse of the challenges and rewards of a long
marriage. Read full review here
“Rockcastle has written a simple, but not simplistic, satisfying
story of love, loss, marriage, fidelity, and family. . . . This family is so real, so understandable, so in need of comfort each
in their own way, that we want to embrace them in their grief, applaud their
reconciliations, and learn from their loving fortitude.”—New York Journal of Books
