This carefully crafted story inspires us to understand the values of friendship, honesty, and compassion. It is a series of stories within a story, a mystery, a tale of friendship, and the importance of family ties and understanding.

Steeped in science, history, and fact this work will engage readers who appreciate excellent historical fiction and the study of human motivation.

St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves: Stories by Karen Russell
Patti, September 21, 2006
Creative, artful, and rich in style and construction, Ms. Russell takes you on a journey through the lives and imaginations of her characters. Each story is a collage of characters, their thoughts and emotions portrayed with colorful dialogue,description, and a hint of mysticism. It is easy to become totally absorbed in each story, and to feel as though you are right there between the lines.(9 of 19 readers found this comment helpful)
