What powers THE KELSEY OUTRAGE is Hubbard's excellent. layered storytelling. It's a crime novel, but also the portrait of a young woman who faces off against far more powerful people who see themselves as the masters of their little universe.

Alison Hubbard can tell a story: the tar-and-feathering of a quirky Irish poet in a genteel 19th-century Long Island village. Unforgettable characters, from the lecherous town doctor to the lying belle to the tough Irishwoman who reveals the underside of village life. Masterful.—Maisie McAdoo, author and journalist.

The Kelsey Outrage is a page turner! A simple story told eloquently. Twists and interesting story devices. An allegory of modern America. — A. Edwards, The History Quill.
