"Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for writing this book, Anne. I read this during a flu that left me bed-ridden through the whole of Thanksgiving, and I have to say that it lifted my spirits considerably. The vivid depictions of Anne's family life made me recall my own, and the way that she writes through the perspective of a precocious and spirited child questioning the often chaotic behaviors of the adults around her reads like a prayer for grace in a dislocated world. Anne is a true observer of human nature that gives credo in equal parts to the cruel as well as the tender aspects of human relationships. Her ability to see the funny, absurd, and perhaps even enlightening sides of adversity and disappointment is a gift that I am quite glad she's chosen to share with us. A true writer, she weaves a golden thread out of the myriad every day experiences that leave one wondering, wandering and confused."
"This was a refreshing book to read. I love her style. The subject matter is harsh-the lives of the main characters are all too real in their strengths and weaknesses. I also have always appreciated the give and take relationship her characters have with God. Wondering, hoping and sometimes stunned disbelief in the face of a life twist-but always coming back to cultivating a relationship with God-and one that looks different for every person."
"This is a good beach read/bus read. Nice and easy- goes quickly. Interest in the characters, but some extra information missing/undeveloped. Liked it."
