Mamaskatch...spirals through vignettes that are by turns heart-wrenching and humorous, despairing and loving, and as they swirl together we see how McLeod makes his story complete and realizes order out of the chaos of his experiences.

RaveThe Minneapolis Star\"...a startlingly ambitious and moving first novel ... It’s a mark of Orange’s talent that in a book with a dozen protagonists, each emerges as a fully realized person, with their own distinct ways of talking and seeing the world ... In a novel that is more layered than Sherman Alexie’s best fiction and in prose that is as lyrical and humane as Louise Erdrich’s, Orange brilliantly evokes the complexity of this \'new\' community.\
