"I can't remember when I've enjoyed a first novel so much. Faith Bass Darling will live on and on in each reader's heart. Some chapters made me laugh out loud, some left me with a delicious tear in my eye, others evoked a shiver of recognition at things known but not quite realized. Eerie, charming, heart rending and heart breaking at the same time, Rutledge's novel is a triumph. -W. P. (Bill) Kinsella, author of Shoeless Joe (basis for classic film "Field of Dreams")
"With a big Texas heart, Lynda Rutledge writes of second chances, redemption, what we truly own and what we must release in this spectacular novel. Faith Bass Darling hears voices, but you will see;the most original of all is her own. Put a sticker on this one, it's a keeper." -Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Big Stone Gap and the Valentine series
