Book Synopsis
"Bonnie Jo Campbell is a master of rural America’s postindustrial landscape." —Boston Globe

Trade Review
"Like the women in her stories, Campbell’s prose can be watchful and viscerally alive." -- New York Times Book Review
"The book thrums with powerful young women." -- Chicago Tribune
"With grit and reverence, this story collection is gorgeous in its honesty." -- Marie Claire
"Mothers, Tell Your Daughters is filled with shifts…when a turn of fate, a moment in nature, brings surprises and revealing insights. And within the turmoil and the troubles, the demands and the limits of life, Campbell reminds us, there are possibilities for moments of grace." -- NPR Online
"What it comes down to, in Campbell’s world and in ours, is that to be female is to fight all kinds of trouble with all kinds of strength." -- O, The Oprah Magazine
"Campbell grounds us in such graphic grit, making these lives so bitterly, relentlessly real, we want to reach through the pages and pull them to safety—aware, alas, that many would firmly refuse rescue." -- San Francisco Chronicle
