"A soothingly disturbing bittersweet elixir. By turns deliciously funny and poignantly painful, it wanders and rambles in and out of the messiness of life. It's real. It's human. You will be different for having immersed yourself in it. "Ginny Good" has the soul and guts and truth of a classic of American Literature."-Donna McDougle, author and book reviewer
