“Ida, with her beauty parlor-poufed hairdo and WalMart wardrobe, may look like a rural ditz, but she isn't. Honed by earthy common sense, generosity, an irrepressible joie de vivre and a willingness to give new ideas a try, her observations are razor sharp. . . From start to finish we laugh with Ida but at nobody, the most satisfying laughter there is.”

-The Boston Globe
