Moon Trees and Other Orphans in Bloomington, MN

The women in Leigh Camacho Rourk’s stories carry guns and they know how to use them. This is the best kind of fiction, well-honed, lean and flinty with deep pockets of compassion and vulnerability and hope, every sentence a made thing. If you love Lucia Berlin and Dorothy Allison, (or even if you don’ t) these women will get under your skin and stay there.
Moon Trees
is a truly stunning literary debut. – Pam Houston
