DM Frech has the gift for taking a surprising angle on the world as if it were the most natural view, in a plain-spoken voice that somehow pierces to the heart of every moment on first encounter, and she has the craft to explore that moment in accumulating circles of context, letting the ripples of that initial wonder radiate in unforeseen ways. She takes us from a sometimes droll, sometimes dead-pan astonishment, and leads us deeper, into heartbreak and poignancy, and it is a journey well worth taking.-Tim Farrington, [email protected], Author of the New York Times Notable Book of the year, The Monk Downstairs, Previous Instructor at Norfolk Muse Writers Workshop, Facebook founder of First Do No Harm Writers Group
