She develops her lovely conceit with care and kindness, leading us into a heartbreaking world we've never imagined, but in which we feel strangely comforted and right at home. \u003cb\u003eAn intoxicating book and brew\u003c\/b\u003e.\"-Frederick Barthelme, author of \u003ci\u003eWaveland\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThere Must Be Some Mistake\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Where the magic of invention meets up with the heft of the human heart.

So there's that, yes, but still. I cannot think of another writer who could possibly tell this story with such sincerity and conviction and authenticity, no one. Then again, before reading Beth Couture's \u003ci\u003eWomen Born With Fur\u003c\/i\u003e, I never could have imagined that the hirsute could be so \u003cb\u003eutterly heartbreaking\u003c\/b\u003e.\"-Courtney Eldridge, author of \u003ci\u003eUnkempt\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Generosity of Women\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeth Couture\u003c\/b\u003e received her Ph.D. in Creative Writing from the Center Center for Writers at the University of Southern Mississippi, MFA from the University of Notre Dame, MA from SUNY-Binghamton, and her Bachelor's from Hollins University.
