I absolutely love Ivan Coyote's storytelling. Her stories just draw me in and make me want to keep reading more.

This collection is a short story, memoir collection. She touches on a wide range of topics, though many of them involve how we view gender roles, but there are also other topics, such as family and growing up in the north. In the space of one story Coyote has the ability to make the reader laugh, cry, be entertained, be challenged, and think - quite a feat.

Coyote is clearly a master of her craft and I would love to get some of her audio recordings to hear her tell her stories. This is the second one of her books that I have read now, and the second one that I have raced though, telling myself that I'll read "just one more story" before I put it down.
