Critics Review
“This is not a romance, or even just a heart-warmer. It’s a real love story, frank and particular. If you don’t like it, you don’t like love.”—Roy Blount, Jr.
“Manages both to warm your heart and to break it into a million pieces.”—Claire LaZebnik, author of The Smart One and the Pretty One and coauthor of Overcoming Autism
“A story that should be read by ALL parents, both for what it teaches about the limits of love and the power of hope…You will not soon forget Next Stop.” —Robert Bausch, author of A Hole in the Earth and The Gypsy Man
“A manual on what makes us human. Illuminating, inspiring, and at times heartbreaking. Brilliant.”—Jack McDevitt, Nebula Award-winning author of Firebird
“A remarkable, deeply affecting memoir.” —David Rowell, author of The Train of Small Mercies
