“In “Cold Lips,” Kelly Tate has given a fine portrait of two sisters coming of age in a small town near Ann Arbor, Michigan. Among the story’s many attributes is Tate’s skillful rendering of era and place, but it is the relationship between the sisters that is the most authentic. Tate manages a kind of narrative mystery that heightens the tension and pulls the reader along to the story’s moving but unsentimental ending.” -Rilla Askew, author of “Prize for the Fire”
“Tate’s short-shorts are gems. Her longer stories are full of the right details, nuances and interior revelations of character.” -Michael Heffernan, author of “The Night Watchman’s Daughter”
