Reviews
"I love the human drama that pulses through Tiki Man . Atkinson's unique social fluency allows for a captivating delve into America's troubled class. With Pere and his young ward, Tammy, as guides, this book travels among a carnival of lost souls painted with perfect resonance and vitality. This unlikely duo's warmth and growing affection buoy them from turbulent lives, and make them indelible among the world of gambling ships, charter boats, and the shadow of correctional facilities rendered so shimmering yet gritty by this superb writer." -- Devin Murphy, National Bestselling Author of The Boat Runner
"As a lifelong fan of stories about found families and unlikely alliances, I love everything about Tiki Man , an unflinching look at life on the edges of society. Atkinson shows us there is hope in the smallest of hearts and love in the roughest of gestures." -- Catherine Ryan Hyde, author of 40 published and upcoming books, including Pay It Forward
