from the back cover:
"....Some of them (Claybournians) are centered, some are off balance, some are frightened, some are daring. But all are brilliantly drawn representatives of a people searching for the healing properties of salt. In this, her first novel, Cade Bambara more than fulfills the promise of her short stories."
