Shoes Hair Nails

This book of short stories is truth and revelation the likes of which I had to marvel at and probably will forever. How did I live so long and not be able to articulate some of the vital, primal things in my feminine heart regarding male sexuality, a woman's reasons for sex, family relationships that don't fulfill love, and the like?. . . Women everywhere will love "Shoes Hair Nails." Men would do well to read it, too.

Like a book written with the wisdom of a "yankee" Flannery O'Connor, Batterman's stories are filled with satire, and laugh aloud humor, it's true; and, the profound insights she offers up in the quotable saltings of her work are new and stunning. --Deborah Riggs Previte, A Bookish Libraria
