"Menkedick is a superb storyteller. . . . This is a moving and deeply personal look at one woman's transformation." --Publishers Weekly
"Insightful and evocative. . . . Menkedick's driving question is to figure out 'whether returning home signifies growing up or giving up or both--and if it's both, what exactly we want to give up in exchange for what.' The magic of this book is that she makes so personal a question so easily accessible to readers." --Kirkus
"Menkedick's first book gracefully encourages careful introspection and finding one's true self and place among the everyday moments." --Booklist
