"Read this book while sick with H1N1. It was a good book to read while sick, with nothing to torment feverish dreams, it was a good solid, descriptive unique love story. I think I will donate it to the school library as I think other people deserve to read this book and enjoy it as I have."
"Alma Rose is a beautiful story of a woman who is gay in a small, dusty town in the desert. What she does with this new-found knowledge, and the woman she comes to love is the subject of Edith Forbes story. A beautiful, heartbreaking ending that shows how love can strengthen even when it hurts."
"Honestly, I got a little bored by the nineteenth time they told us what the desert looks like. It's hot, it's dry, there are rocks. And the book didn't so much end as . . . stop. But the story was engaging, and the sort of woman-over-nature (ish) battle was fun. Most of it is well-written, just maybe a little repetitive on the descriptive bits."
"I reread this when I need a good cry. Beautiful and sad, a love story of the truest kind. Wouldn't you want someone to be so haunted by you she or he would do the same?"
