Review:
"One of the best nonfiction works of recent years... a delight."

"A trenchant and offbeat examination of how history happens."

"[Mallon] here views the events in Dallas from Mrs. Paine''s perspective, which gives them an unexpected freshness."

"Fresh and unexpected. Out of the darkness of an iconic American tragedy, Mallon finds an overlooked but bright figure."

"A fascinating, carefully researched account of what [Mallon] calls ''the collision of innocent intentions and unforeseen enormities.''"

"[Mrs. Paine''s Garage] is entirely unlike any other book about the assassination. It reads like a good detective novel."

"Mallon succeeds admirably, not only portraying Paine in depth and with sympathy, but managing to make her goodness genuinely interesting."

From the Back Cover:
It was February 1963 when Ruth Hyde Paine, a Quaker housewife in suburban Dallas, first met a young man named Lee Harvey Oswald and his Russian wife, Marina. Over the nine months that followed, Ruth offered shelter and assistance to the couple. She even found Oswald the job that put him in the Texas School Book Depository from which, on November 22, 1963, he fired the rifle he'd kept hidden in Mrs. Paine's home. Mrs. Paine's Garage is the story of this devout, openhearted woman and the role she inadvertently played in the tragedy of Dealey Plaza. It is also the story of how Ruth Paine weathered a whirlwind of suspicion and betrayal and refused to let her connection to that November calamity destroy her life. Thomas Mallon has fashioned an account of generosity and secrets--tragic might-have-beens and eerie coincidences--that unfolds with a gripping inevitability.

But this is also a tale of survival and resiliency: the story of a devout, open-hearted woman who weathered a whirlwind of investigation, suspicion, and betrayal, and who refused to allow her enmeshment in the calamity of that November to crush her own life. Thomas Mallon gives us a disturbing account of generosity and secrets, of suppressed memories and tragic might-have-beens, of coincidences more eerie than conspiracy theory.
