This is a book that will reach your soul.

If this book doesn't reach your soul, then you don't have one. The stories contain beautifully drawn charactors we all can relate to. Dodd has a natural talent that has obviously been well-honed.

The New York Times loved this book! Read on!

Please read what the New York Times Book Review truly said about Susan Dodd's collection, which received a boxed review: "In Susan Dodd's new book, O Careless Love, love sometimes fails the characters but it always reigns supreme among their preoccupations..One of the stories, "Lokey Man," contains the most breathtaking courtship scene I've ever read.

Kirkus blows it again

This is one of the finest books I have read in years. Dodd has a remarkable sense of her characters that shines through in each story. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Beautiful work.
