Most writers are afraid of tackling these issues head on; Murray should be commended for not backing away and urging the reader to look with her."—Maceo Montoya, author of The Scoundrel and the Optimist

"Murray's style is, by turns, sarcastic, witty, sobering, didactic, poignant, informative—and full of corazón. I believe it is a significant contribution."—Patricia Santana, author of Motorcycle Ride on the Sea of Tranquility

"Stories of life and bureaucracy intertwine in the wake of historic disasters, from the western wildfires to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Murray's stories feature the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Education, and the lives of regular people caught up in the all-too-familiar dystopian currents of the day."—The Millions

"...fearless and revalatory.... It is absolutely essential reading."—Buzzfeed
