Reviews

"A fast-paced, funny, heartbreaking memoir about a midwestern mother-daughter Thelma and Louise, hard partying, wise cracking, and brave. A tragic-comic meditation on love, loss, and what we see in the stars." --Micah Perks, author of What Becomes Us

"A fierce and funny meditation on family and loss that surprises the reader again and again, full of beautiful sassiness and skepticism even as it is so open to the numinous possibilities of what is unseen."
--Tim Miller, author of Body Blows

"Heartbreaking in its honesty, lovely in its artistry, succoring in its strength. A stunning memoir." --Mary Clearman Blew, author of This Is Not the Ivy
