"The women of Tenney's Landing are the sort I'm always wishing I'd meet more often in real life--smart, large-hearted, soulful, brave. Catherine Tudish must be just such a woman to have imagined them so fully."
--Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls and Straight Man
"Catherine Tudish's Tenney's Landing conjures up a place and a people with that magical vividness we found in Porter, Welty, Cheever, and Updike. Until I read these stories I had thought that twenty-first century fiction could only tell us how we've lost the freshness of our lives on this continent and how our New World has grown old. What a gift it is, then, that this modestly brilliant writer returns us to the great American river."
--David Huddle, author of The Story of a Million Years and LaTour Dreams of the Wolf Girl
Tenney’s Landing
"In the tradition of Wallace Stegner, Thornton Wilder, and Kent Haruf, Catherine Tudish explores small-town and rural life in America with clear-eyed honesty, loving care, and great wisdom. . . . Written with quiet elegance, American Cream is a masterful novel, alive with fine characters, surprising scenes, and insightful observations that come with deep life experience and deep compassion for one's fellow men and women."
--Howard Frank Mosher, author of On Kingdom Mountain and Disappearances
