"Razor-sharp...written with incredible grace and assurance. I gave myself over to this story and felt as though I had inhabited these characters." —Benjamin Percy, The Dark Net
"The layering of diverse stories and perceptions, a key feature of the novel, results in nuanced portrayals of characters and circumstances, making it impossible to categorize anyone as purely good or bad. This complexity feels true to life, and it makes for a gratifying read." --Small Press Picks "If the Ice Had Held, a story about second chances, is both haunting and luminous. I was captivated by how, in the aftershock of tragedy, these memorable characters try to find their way toward some brighter place. Expertly shifting back and forth in time, Fox has crafted an intricate mosaic shimmering with gorgeous prose." —Heather Bell Adams, Maranatha Road |
"The Pull of It, Wendy J. Fox’s first novel, is palliative care for the neurotic American attachment to routines of housekeeping, childrearing, and career building." - Patrick Thomas Henry
"Wendy J. Fox makes us wonder what is better than being home. She takes us back to our primitive state of needing security, of wanting to know that we belong and that we belong nowhere else. She tells us to never settle for anything else than what we hope to be true." - JMWW
"Her stories are crafted jewels: elegant, glittering, cutting."
- Necessary Fiction

'The Pull of It' walks a wire of exquisite tension between the things that pull us home and those that pull us away. —Shawn Vestal, author of Daredevils
