“What struck me most forcibly about Dolen Perkins-Valdez’s novel, Wench, was the simple and extraordinary delving into the human heart, the choices destiny doled and how those choices were answered. Perkins-Valdez crawls under your skin and probes and pushes most gracefully and in clear concise lyric prose, ultimately asking the question that only extraordinary fiction can ask – what would you have done? A striking story of heart and mind, Wench captures time and delivers it to us. A superb and outstanding achievement.” -Jeffrey Lent, author of In the Fall & A Peculiar Grace
