The Saturday Review of Literature proclaims The Edge of Time is "a fundamentally honest and literate telling of one of the lesser-known chapters in the American saga." Revered by readers for over 50 years, Loula Grace Erdman tells the story of a young couple settling in the Texas Panhandle in the 1800s. "Miss Erdman's story ... shows imagination touched with grace, the ability to reconstruct a place and a time, and genuine admiration for the people, particularly the women."-Christian Science Monitor
