Valerie Miner calls Paula Coomer's first collection of short fiction "witty, hard-hitting, melancholy and passionate . . . . Her fine work is characterized by a palpable sense of place as well as by a strong compassion for, indeed love for, her idiosyncratic characters." Idaho author Mary Clearman-Blew remarks that Coomer's "stories are as sparkling and unexpected as found pennies, with their promise of pleasure in turning the next page." Coomer's debut is stunning.
