“Tracy DeBrincat’s audacious stories are all skewed angles and acrobatic language. Her characters, hungry for the authentic, don’t necessarily find it where we’d think to look. The character who says she’s ‘naked as a lark’ pretty much illustrates DeBrincat’s unpredictable style: candid, original – a lark! – and rich with anti-sentimental feeling.”

“With evocative prose and comic precision, Tracy DeBrincat mines the rich interior worlds of her characters, primarily girls and women. She is a writer with a unique voice and vision, and her stories unfold in surprising ways. Read her collection and take the journey—one filled with twists and turns, empathy, and ultimately, grace.”
– Mary Otis, author of Yes, Yes, Cherries
