Acclaimed writer Beth Kephart captures the rhythms and smells of an extraordinary era as William Quinn and his Ma, Essie, grapple with life among terrible accidents, miraculous escapes, and shams masquerading as truth. <P>Distributed by Temple University Press for the New City Community Press <BR> <h2>Reviews</h2> <p><i>"Playing masterfully with words, knitting them into new and deliciously expressive forms, Kephart’s story is one of loss and then redemption.... Like the very best of historical fiction, this effort combines a timeless tale with a vividly recreated, fascinating world. An outstanding and ultimately life-affirming tale."</i> <br>&#151<b><i>Kirkus Review</i></b> <BR> <H2>About the Author(s)</H2> <P><b>Beth Kephart</b> teaches creative nonfiction at the University of Pennsylvania.
