The Denver Post glowingly reviews Heidi Durrow's new novel, The Girl Who fell from the Sky.
In the telling of this coming- of-age novel, Durrow manages that remarkable achievement of telling a subtle, complex story that speaks in equal volumes to children and adults. Like "Catcher in the Rye" or "To Kill A Mockingbird," Durrow's debut features voices that will ring in the ears long after the book is closed on young Rachel Morse. It's a captivating and original tale that shouldn't be missed.
