""[R]ich and evocative . . . . A moving book about an all-too-common childhood experience, which is fairly uncommon in children's literature."" --Booklist ""Troubling, affecting, and ultimately uplifting, from a promising debut novelist.""--Kirkus Reviews ""[A] thought provoking debut about the meaning of home and the importance of family.""--Horn Book Magazine ""This is a beautiful book. I loved Cora who was so warm and real. I cried over her hard life, but was thrilled over her choices. I wanted her to succeed; I wanted her to be happy. The ending of this book was wonderful; I'll never forget it."" -Patricia Reilly Giff, author of Eleven ""This beautiful novel grabbed me from page one and never let go. Simply put, I loved this book. Cora and Adare wormed their way into my heart. I rooted for them, I ached for them. An incredible debut novel. I'm already a Sarno fan and can't wait to see what she does next."" -Susin Nielsen, author of We Are All Made of Molecules
