"Like
a master tightrope walker, Marianne Leone avoids any fall here into
understandable sentimentality or self-pity. Instead, she has stepped
nakedly into the larger human truths of her own story and given us back a
life-sustaining feast." Andre Dubus III, author of The Garden of Last Days
"This
book will break your heart. This book will make you angry. It will make
you laugh and cry and cheer. But mostly, this book will lift you up." Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle
