dramatic action, and full of quirky characters...equal parts
harrowing and convivial.” — National Post

path.” — Cosmopolitan

with…grace, and without self-pity.” — Elle

family’s quest and its collapse without bitterness. ” — Boston

Jeannette Walls’ childhood (The Glass Castle) look almost
conventional.” — Toronto Star
