"Bishop's skillful use of language and style, though subtle and unobtrusive, captured the very essence of being homeless, of living in poverty, devoid of hope. I was inside the story from beginning to end. I became informed without being preached at. I was brought inside the lives of those who are disenfranchised and lost, and I witnessed the human will to survive." –Wendi Stewart, judge for the 2016 H.R. (Bill) Percy Novel Prize
