Press Quotes
“Hometown is a metaphor for the relationships that have made us who we are. Palmer’s exploration of her characters’ reasons for clinging to one another is like a treasure map, giving up one clue at a time and concealing the reward till near the end. This map is well worth following, for it illuminates the mysteries of ordinary life and our hopes for happiness.” —Kat Chamberlain, ITN Review
