MOVING SIMPLICITY

With a singular voice to watch, Amy Jo Wood explores her own journey of grief in this deceptive collection of short stories/character sketches/memoirs. Truth literally exudes from each word, and you are transported to a different place and time. The characters explored become real to you, most particularly the author's own voice, which is alternately joyful, passionate, sad, but always insightful and charming. You feel the need to walk these paths yourself to wash in the transcendental footsteps Ms. Wood has luckily left behind.

Simplicity that is moving

In an age of superlative and sophistication overload, how refreshing to find such a down-to-earth style, one that conveys human nuances without overly distracting. I hope Wood keeps the pen in hand and writes more. Parts of this book moved me, and motivated me to finally visit Wilmington, which was everything Wood's descriptions promised.

Amy Wood hits the mark with her insights on the locals.

Having lived in Wilmington,NC, I recognized all the wacky folks the author talked about. There is something magical about that town and Ms. Wood has captured the mystical flavor. Visit the port town and see for yourself. If you can't do that - read her book."Life Between Azalea Festivals" sort of does for Wilmington what "Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil" did for Savannah.
