“Intimate and authentic…she writes with the true language of Oregon, of the people who grew up in this wonderful state between the years of the pioneering spirit and gentrification.” Elizabeth Quinn, managing editor, High Desert Journal “Chance of Sun pays glorious tribute to Oregon’s wild places. Through vivid imagery and pithy narration, the author tells a coming-of-age tale against a backdrop of windswept beaches, high desert towns, and mountains rich with revelation.”
–Melissa Hart, author of Gringa: A Contradictory Girlhood “Chance of Sun can be read not only as a love letter to Oregon, but as a postcard from your wise older sister who has lived and loved in ways both heartbreaking and beautiful, who has brought back all of her stories from one small corner of the world to show us that we can all survive the brutality of youth and see a ray of light at the other side.” Suzanne Burns, author of Misfits and Other Heroes
