to translate critical raves and peer esteem into broader
good fortune. But a world that makes room for say, Lucinda
Williams, ought to be able to spare some well-deserved success
for Miles... USA TODAY

seems to revel in the romantic battlefields and the gray
areas...Miles delivers it all with an every-woman experessiveness...Her
poetic, insightful portrait of the human spirit, upbeat despite
it's difficult honesty, is truly inviting. |
