Reviews
"Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne writes with an unprecedented lyricism that is both highly literary and charmingly accessible. From the opening moments of this page-turner, the reader can't help but surrender to the titanic love affair that is Jeptha and Lucy. The storytelling is so masterful and enchanting that no matter what happens, you know you're safe with Shelburne at the helm." --Jennie Wood, author of A Boy Like Me and Flutter "Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne's complex, moving portrait of Jeptha--universally dismissed as a loser in his small town in Tennessee, but who, in Shelburne's hands, is a wounded, sensitive soul who was never taught how to be the good man he longs to be--resonates long after the final chapter . . . When She Flies marks the debut of an important new author of Southern fiction." --Lisa Borders, author of The Fifty-First State and Cloud Cuckoo Land, "Following in the literary footsteps of Silas House's debut novel Clay's Quilt , Holding Onto Nothing is a tragically beautiful tale of love, loss, music, and blue-collar mountain life. Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne is a fresh contemporary Appalachian voice that I hope to hear from again and again." --Amy Greene, Bloodroot and Long Man "Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne writes with an unprecedented lyricism that is both highly literary and charmingly accessible.

Holding On To Nothing marks the debut of an important new author of Southern fiction." --Lisa Borders, author of The Fifty-First State and Cloud Cuckoo Land "Holding On To Nothing is a smart, wry novel filled with bourbon, bluegrass, grit, and heart." --Patricia Park, author of Re Jane, "Holding On To Nothing is a resonant song of the South, all whiskey, bluegrass, Dolly Parton, tobacco fields, and women who know better but still fall for the lowdown men whom they know will disappoint them. Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne writes with extraordinary love and compassion of the lives of her flawed characters; she shines a clear, calm light on their tragedies, their joys, and their hard-won redemptions." --Lauren Groff, Florida and Fates and Furies "Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne's debut novel sings and burns in equal measure. Holding On To Nothing is a gripping story of love and place, of the small choices and large passions that determine our lives, of the gorgeous hope that tomorrow will bring something solid and sturdy, something lucky and true." --Bret Anthony Johnston, Remember Me Like This and Corpus Christi "Following in the literary footsteps of Silas House's debut novel Clay's Quilt , Holding Onto Nothing is a tragically beautiful tale of love, loss, music, and blue-collar mountain life. Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne is a fresh contemporary Appalachian voice that I hope to hear from again and again." --Amy Greene, Bloodroot and Long Man "Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne writes with a chafe and charm that makes you give a damn about these flawed characters, Lucy and Jeptha, makes you root for them when what little they have is at risk. This novel has all the makings of a true ballad--heartache and dead ends, booze and bad decisions, double-crossing relatives, a hand-me-down mandolin, and a loyal dog named Crystal Gayle. It also has a deep humming heart that knows sorrow. Like Lucy's beloved Dolly Parton, Holding On To Nothing is not just country, it's mountain. Shelburne is a literary force to be reckoned with." --Susan Bernhard, Winter Loon "Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne writes with an unprecedented lyricism that is both highly literary and charmingly accessible.

It's impossible to turn away as these hardscrabble characters embark on a long shot at love despite voices real and imagined that shout in dissent. A stunning debut by a fierce new voice in southern fiction." --Kelly J.
