“With all the fixings of a Johnny Cash song—love, loss,
redemption—Campbell captures these Michiganders and their earthy, brutal
paradise in tales rich with insight and well worth the trip.” (Elle )



“Margo’s struggle to survive proves irresistible, like the tug of the Stark
itself.” (The New
Yorker
)



“Campbell has a ruthless and precise eye for the details of the physical world.
. . . An excellent American parable about the consequences of our favorite
ideal, freedom.” (Jane
Smiley -
New
York Times Book Review
)
