One hell of a novel about a good woman on the run with her
beautiful boy... I defy anyone to read the first seven pages of
this book and not finish it
AMERICAN DIRT transported me through genuine fear and had me
willing on every human being struggling to get to a better life.
Written with masterly restraint, it is a roaring human triumph
It's been a long time since I turned pages as fast as I did with
American Dirt. Its journey is a testament to the power of fear and
hope and belief that there are more good people than bad.
I devoured the novel in a dry-eyed adrenalin rush... profoundly
moving

page and demands attention, especially now
