Review
The stories in THE DAY THE MEN WENT TO TOWN are individual gems.... In these sixteen tales there is something for everyone, something to laugh at, someone to identify with. All of the works are well written, although the language and the feel of each one is different from the other. Not all the stories take place in or are about Cape Breton. But until this book, I had no idea there was such a wealth of women writers living here (in Cape Breton.) -- What's Going On Magazine
