“Without Roof focuses on loss and separation, but it celebrates courage and risk.”
—Karla Hammond
“…With economy and composure she describes things as they are: a fine love goes emotionally bankrupt; a woman’s body withers and grows past childbearing; the wildflowers sometimes conceal bat caves and minefields.”
—Choice
