REVIEWS
"In a fast-paced world with many things to do and simply not enough time to do them, it becomes all too easy to forget about the little things. The Last Resort illustrates ‘the forgotten ones, those barely scraping by in a society obsessed with wealth and celebrity. But these same people, relegated to the margins, not only survive, they thrive, thanks to their compassion and generosity of spirit."
"For years, Chico novelist Emily Gallo has been chronicling the lives of an ever-widening circle of misfits. Sipping “endless cups of Earl Grey tea” at the Tin Roof Cafe, Gallo writes with non-judgmental simplicity as her characters try to make their way in the world."
