Warmhearted ... Graff’s second novel offers just enough drama to be exciting and just enough reassurance that everybody will get home safe ... I was happy to run off for a spell in the Northwoods with Sam and his family. Given the paucity of hope and happiness in contemporary literary fiction, those feelings must be a lot harder to produce than irony and despair. If you’re looking for a story that lets grace finally wash over its characters, come on down. The water’s great ... Sparkles.
