Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, December 1, 2007:
"An engrossing examination of a profound theme in the deft hands of a discerning author."
Interview, The New York Times: In the Region, February 3, 2008:
"Handling difficult subjects with sensitivity is Mrs. Giff's specialty. If she has tried to drive home a single point in all her stories, it is that ordinary people are special -- and that children, most of all, need to feel that way."
"From the Hardcover edition."
