“[A] wrenching and wondrous coming-of-age tale. Walsh’s debut novel is a mystery, a Louisiana mash note and a deeply compassionate, clear-eyed take on the addled teen-boy mind.”——People
“Excellent… Walsh has an innate knack for plot and suspense, but the real pleasure here is his prose. This stunning and gracefully written debut novel is a total page-turner until the very end.”——Entertainment Weekly
“Both a tantalizing mystery and a tender coming-of-age story, My Sunshine Away is equally capable of making a reader cry…and scream…. And yet, you’re never exhausted trying to piece together clues to solve the crime. The power of the book lies in its spot-on characters…. Unputdownable.”——Oprah.com
“[A] rich, unexpected, exceptional book…. A gripping read that’s more than a thriller, more than a traditional Southern tale, My Sunshine Away is a brilliant meditation on the unpredictability and the lifelong effects of childhood events and relationships.” —Chicago Tribune
