“An astonishingly assured debut that focuses on Caroline and Abigail Nolan, a pair of sisters in the fictional North Texas town of Hope, as they struggle with their evangelical faith and family betrayal.” — Texas Monthly
“A feminist rewrite of Lot. . . . God Spare the Girls is, in short, delightful.” — Texas Observer
