Mr. Herrick has written a novel of searching insight and absorbing interest; a first-rate story ... sincere to the very core in its matter and in its art.—Hamilton W. Mabie.
The book is a bit of the living America of to-day, a true picture of one of its most significant phases ... living, throbbing with reality.—N.Y. Evening Mail.
Novels of its style and quality are few and far between; ... he tells a story that is worth the telling; ... it is a study of life as he sees it, and as thousands of his readers try to avoid seeing it.—Boston Transcript.
It grips the reader tremendously.... It is the drama of a human soul the reader watches ... the finest study of human motive that has appeared for many a day.—The World To-day.
