Silver IPPY Award, Great Lakes - Best Regional Fiction
"The stories within A Place Remote are unique in both tone and style, but when presented together, they seem to coalesce into a Steinbeckian portrait of American life." -Seth Combs, San Diego Union-Tribune
"What makes this book especially exquisite is how Goodkin presents these narratives without romanticizing escape. Each story aches with a humming possibility that recognizes the changing nature of home, and what it means to leave a place and its people behind." -Gauraa Shekhar, Maudlin House
“These stories capture so many of the particularities of rural nostalgia so well that it’s remarkable Goodkin…was able to render them in strict short form.” - Melinda Copp, Cleveland Review of Books
“Goodkin is a sharp observer of class distinctions….[Her] dialogue is witty, earthy, and real.” -Chuck Augello, New Pages
