"The writing in these startling stories by Nate Liederbach is vivid and innovative and perfect for the wild and unexpected events. The scope ranges from the apocalyptically large to the intimately small, and all of it is interesting and moving. Chances are taken, and they pay off. Yes, there is a high jumping economist and witches and outlaws and a tongue to be shaved, but also a candy bar from the past and roadkill, and you get to take your daughter to heaven for a little vacation. I love finding rare writers who are telling the stories only they can tell. Settle in and be ready to be surprised by BLESSINGS GALORE." --Ray Vukcevich, author of Boarding Instructions
