Advanced praise for Scavengers: 
​“Scavengers is the moving, madcap mother-daughter adventure I never knew I always wanted, snuggling a deft character study and deep understanding of family dynamics inside an unexpected treasure hunt. From her gorgeous settings to her tender skewering of human foibles, Boland’s wonderful novel had me spellbound—laughing, worrying, and wondering until its surprising and beautiful end.” --Lydia Kiesling, author of Mobility

“Smart, electrifying, and utterly consuming, Scavengers crackles with humor and heartbreak. Kathleen Boland’s masterful debut novel explores the exhilarating, devastating lengths we’ll go to escape and reinvent ourselves. These desperate characters are boldly and fearlessly written, marking Boland as an original and exciting new voice in American fiction.” —Chelsea Bieker, author of Madwoman and Godshot
