Sylvia

In the tradition of the finest literary fiction of the American West Twila Newey weaves together the frailty and warmth of family ties with the mountain landscapes casual cruelty and transcendent beauty. Four bereaved sisters face the limits and comforts of their faith in one another and in their religious community and in the process illuminate the frank humor dangers and graces of Utah womens lives in ways that will delight and haunt readers long afterward.-Therese Doucet author of Prisoner of the Castle of Enlightenment
