Critical Reviews

"Summer of the Cicadas introduces us to Viola Moon as she enters a collegiate world that's both alluring and strange. Cole Lavalais is a shaper of voices, delivering a wonderful debut rendered with compassion, sharpness, and light."--Ravi Howard, Driving the King "An evocative story about the pursuit of home and healing."--HelloBeautiful.com
