Praise for Rush

“Truly compulsive reading.” — Cosmopolitan

“Taut as a guitar string, sardonic…Compelling…Intensely written…It has the wallop of a shotgun blast.” — Houston Chronicle

“In this brave first novel, Ms. Wozencraft has dared to expose an ugly and seldom seen side of our ‘drug war.’” — The Baltimore Sun

“Wozencraft makes Cates’s descent into addiction, crime, and finally punishment harrowingly believable.” — Texas Monthly
