Editorial Review
"These are touching, gentle stories about the lives of women and girls who aren't lucky in their beginnings or backgrounds, nor particularly wise, and yet, their stories, with their rare and tiny triumphs, resonate." - Sharon Butala, author of Season of Fury and Wonder
"Vermin is a treasure from one of Alberta's bright lights." - Angie Abdou, author of Home Ice: Reflections of a Reluctant Hockey Mom
"In these stories, Lori Hahnel reimagines the subject of love... Writing with classical dispassion, she doesn't moralize, disapprove or romanticize. Instead, she sees and selects and exposes the wilderness of the human heart." - Cecelia Frey, author of Lovers Fall Back To Earth and recipient of the Golden Pen Lifetime Achievement Award
