What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This thoughtful story is at times melancholy and at times delightfully deadpan. … Sweet and memorable.” – Kirkus Reviews
“This thoughtful story is at times melancholy and at times delightfully deadpan. … Sweet and memorable.” –Kirkus Reviews
“An engaging realistic fiction novel about family trauma and healing that will have readers turning pages and wanting more. A solid purchase for libraries.” –School Library Journal
“Much of the charm of this intergenerationally focused story comes from Cat’s humorous epistolary narrative. The autobiographical and emotional roots of Sternberg’s (the Eleanor series) novel rise on the pages, making for a sensitive heroine and a tenderhearted tale sprinkled with Jewish and Creole history.” –-Publishers Weekly
