"These stories are richly satisfying."
---Publishers Weekly

"Enthusiastically recommended."
---Booklist

"Troncoso really shines when he writes about El Paso and the life of Mexican-Americans there. He has the gift for writing from his heart outward into his reader's heart."
---Bloomsbury Review

"Troncoso's wistful, endearingly romantic tales vividly dramatize the inherent richness of even subsistence-level lives. He's a respecter of persons, and in turn his characters earn your affection and respect."
---Kirkus Reviews
