"Three and half stars. Presented with sensitivity and enthusiasm."
-Slings and Arrows
"An emotionally moving tale with three-dimensional characters, The Story of Lee is highly recommended"
-Midwest Book Review
"With beguiling subtlety, The Story of Lee explores themes of cultural difference, mixed-race-relationships, family and friendship pressures and the often-insurmountable barrier of different childhood experiences and expectations to weave an enchanting tale of independence, interdependence and isolation. Moving and memorable, this is a timeless tale for modern lovers that you really should enjoy."
