Lake Crescent and Other Spirits

Pamela Gullard is generous and tough with her characters, making them carry the sometimes violent, sometimes neglectful burden of their histories but giving them as well the sense to walk inward. The pull of heart is at the center of these stories. A relationship may cave under "inexplicable disenchantment," but love insists on itself. It will not let go of life.-Jacqueline Berger, author of Left at the Ruin
