Book Review in Prism Review, Spring 2019 issue

“Shade is able to tell the story of how the stranger sitting across from you may have a completely different life than one might assume. Everyone in this story has skeletons in their closet, yet as they cross each other’s path, they are each viewed differently, getting across the idea that everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.” —Prism Review
