JoAnn G. (bookwoman28) reviewed on 1/15/2007 + 166 more book reviews

Writing in Roxanna's voice, as he did with the heroine of the award-winning novel, "Kate Vaiden," Reynolds Price has produced a 'profoundly and provatively hope-filled book." Roxanna begins her story on her twentieth birthday- a day that introduces her to the harsh realities of adulthood and changes the course of her life forever. Her beguiling tale {of the following decades} is one that boldly reflects the high and low moments in the development of the modern South and the nation, as well as the inner strength of a woman possessed of a piercingly clear vision, forthright hungers and immense vitality.
