“Each story in Jaramillo’s collection stands alone, but together they make a powerful combination, with vivid descriptions, realistic characters, and strong emotions that will make readers cry, laugh, cringe and hope.” –Latina Book Club
“The stories we see growing up only continue as we raise our own. “The House of Order” is a collection of short stories from John Paul Jaramillo, associate professor English, as he reflects on family and childhood and growing up and striving to get something better for ourselves as well as our future, and reflections on his unique uncle. “The House of Order” is an enticing read that shouldn’t be overlooked for those looking for a down to earth short fiction collection.” –Midwest Book Review
“These stories find John Paul Jaramillo hitting his stride as an acute observer and chronicler of hard and valuable lives. The writing conveys great warmth and understanding. This is a career to watch.” — Tracy Daugherty, author of One Day the Wind Changed
“A collection of stories that holds together like a shattered vessel, whose fragments have been gathered and expertly glued.” –Jennifer C. Cornell, author of Departures
