"What a fascinating bit of writing! I enjoyed every word. Some say that the stories have all been told but I think you have proven them wrong. And I do so appreciate that you were able to use the platform of fiction to inform me about how we as a society might rethink the goals of incarceration and how healing spaces might become the basis upon which a new paradigm is established. Entertaining is good but entertaining plus enlightening is far better!

I also felt a strong resonance with how you chose to incorporate the inter-related concepts of good, evil and truth. Drawing upon my daily experience, this is Yin and Yang at the most fundamental level. The Chinese have the saying that there is no absolute Yin and there is no absolute Yang but there is always Yin with Yang and Yang within Yin. "

To be honest, when I first picked up this book, I was not sure I would even care about a "green" architect or a prison but not only did I care, I became totally immersed in the wonderful, quirky world author, Anne Hendren creates. All Hendren's characters are odd, quirky and flawed, yet very deep, passionate and well-rounded. You feel as if you not only know them, you understand what drives each of them. The story is rich with symbolism, metaphor and twists-- it is a true thinking person's tale and definitely one of those rare books one could read several times and still learn something more from each time. Anne Hendren is an amazingly gifted writer. She obviously does her research and this book not only teaches, it engages and enriches you. I highly recommend this book!
