Help us celebrate the paperback release of Robin Romm's powerfully moving memoir. "Full disclosure: I may have a little crush on Romm. Not because she’s a good writer, although her prose (both here and in The Mother Garden, her debut story collection, published in 2007) is so fresh and uncompromising it can feel practically impertinent. Nor because of her wit, although she can be startlingly funny (particularly on the subject of her nonagenarian grandfather). Not even because of her fearless, scathing honesty, like a gauntlet thrown down on page after page. It’s ultimately her anger that is so magnetic." —Leah Hager Cohen, New York Times Book Review (Front Cover) ** Read the full review. * Top Ten Nonfiction Books of the Year, Entertainment Weekly * Notable Book of the Year, New York Times * One of the Best Books of the Year, San Francisco Chronicle
