–Angie Abdou, Author of The Canterbury Trail, in The Fernie Fix, November 2013
“McCullough writes beautifully about the emotional devastation of loss, and the slow, faltering process of reconnection. The writing is clear and unsentimental, the setting isolated and wild, the characters likeable but flawed and very human.”
— Sonal Champsee, Contributor, Friend, Follow, Text
Diana Davidson, Author of Pilgrimage, in The Coastal Spectator, September 2013
“The lake community in Clearwater is so richly imagined and detailed that I feel as if I have been there. The setting is integral to everything that happens in the novel, as important as the characters themselves. It’s not just a backdrop for the events; it is necessary to the events.”
— Tara Gilboy, Writer
–Michelle Barker, Author of The Beggar King
“Kim McCullough writes with such clarity and grace that the reader doesn’t so much enter these at once familiar and yet foreign worlds, as slips into them. McCullough’s an emerging writer Canadians should be keeping an eye on.”
— Joseph Boyden, Author of The Orenda
