* "Though more is not always better, it is here, making this volume even better than the original--fuller and wiser in its Giver-like understanding of the role of memory and of literature in our lives... Timeless and wise."
--Kirkus, STARRED review
"Throughout, Lowry's winning combination of personal anecdotes--from laugh-out-loud incidents to family tragedies--with beautifully selected photographs and apt quotes from the author's body of work makes this one to be remembered."
--Horn Book Magazine
