“If there is justice, it will do very, very well. I like this book so much that I don’t want to quote, summarize, interpret—I just hope, if you’re in any kind of relationship, that you’ll get it and read it.”—Jesse Kornbluth, The Huffington Post
“With amiability, wit, and a modicum of self-pity, Laura Munson's memoir reminded me of the twenty-one jars of organic tomato sauce she and her children hand-made. A chapter is like a jar lid: if it doesn't pop as the contents cool, the seal is faulty and the sauce is worthless. Exhausted from their all-day effort, mother and kids sipped hot chocolates and listened as twenty-one jars cooled. To their satisfaction, they counted twenty-one distinct pops. In reading this brave memoir I counted about the same.”—David James Duncan, author of The Brothers K and God Laughs & Plays
