"Purple Flat Top may sharpen our sense of wonder and respect for the wide open spaces east of here and the people who inhabit them."
-- Mike Dillon * City Living *
"Nesbit writes in a simple and clear voice, but also with a powerful gift for observation and reflection. . . . Purple Flat Top is worth revisiting if it has been read before or experiencing fully anew if it has not."
-- Roni K. Devlin * Shelf Awareness *
"With humor and poignancy, Purple Flat Top is a fine assortment, very much recommended for any literary short fiction collection."
* Midwest Book Review *
