Reviews

“Richman’s adventures prove universally compelling.” - Publishers Weekly on Riding in the Shadows of Saints

“A warm story of good folks who make bad decisions and then have to live with them.” - Publishers Weekly

“Readers will be irrevocably drawn into this top-notch fictional debut from an amazing new talent.” - Booklist

“Rich characterizations and vivid sense of place. One of the year’s finest works of local fiction.” - Salt Lake City Weekly

“Richman’s mastery of the emotional geography is illuminating and call(s) to mind the work of Pat Conroy.” - Kirkus Reviews

“ Engrossing. The narrative touches on complexities and contradictions that touch so many lives: steadfast patriotism vs. threatening governmental action; urban Mormonism vs. its earthier rural equivalent; and people vs. a past that can leave them with heavy baggage. With lovely specificity, Richman manages to tell a true Utah story.” - Salt Lake City Weekly, 2008 ARTYS Awards (Winner, Best Fiction Book)
