Review:
"A choice coming-of-age story, whose telling is subtle and whose writing is vivid." -- Booklist (starred review)
"A new large paperback edition of what should be a classic and on the must read list for young adults." -- Bourbon Times
"The beauty of the book is the simple reading and the powerful story that Lyon presents." -- Floyd County Times
"Lyon never uses her first-person narrator to talk down to young readers. Instead, she provides a singular voice to tell an equally singular story." -- New York Times Book Review
"Lyon's simple yet penetrating observations on families and love convey truths as pertinent to adults as to youthful readers." -- Publishers Weekly
"A many layered story of near tragedies and funny incidents, family history and bonds, and a girl who comes to understand her family and how much she loves each member of it." -- School Library Journal (starred review)
"Teens will admire Amanda's resilience." -- Southern Living
