"""The fifteen stories in Judy Alter's Sue Ellen Learns to Dance and Other Stories are funny and sad, modern and historical, and rural and urban. For most of her career, Judy has been recognized as a novelist, biographer, critic, and western historian. With these stories, she adds another dimension to her award-winning career.""—James Ward Lee ""Compressing sweeping landscape, history, circumstances, and life into engrossing readable form throiugh economy of language, metaphor and image gives this master story-teller another means of illustrating modern problems that simply happen to be wearing vintage clothing.""—Joyce Gibson Roach"
