"A beautiful, startling, and wholly original novel, The Little Giant of Aberdeen County is infused with magic, lush language, and surprises on every page. Tiffany Baker has given us a flawed, prickly, enchanting heroine in Truly—part Cinderella, part Witch, part Behemoth. In ther timeless story of small town life, the boundary between reality and fairy tale does not exist, and happy endings are possible but hard-won. This book is a treasure." —Stephanie Kallos (Broken for You) more...

Walking can do that to you: take you to places you don't expect to go, people you don't expect to meet, entanglements you hadn't planned on. To be sure, walking is usually simply to get you from Point A to Point B, but it can be serendipitous as well." —Washington Post Book World more...

"Borrowing from French new wave cinema as much as abstract expressionism and pop art, television in Spigel's riveting account embraced modernism and participated in the taste wars of the 1950s and 1960s.
