“This debut novel is both haunting and wise in its insights on love, loss, and longing. Told with humor and warmth, the story of Joanna’s self-discovery is as vivid as it is inviting. [A] lyrical, languorous tale of enlightenment.” —People
“Subtle and elegant. This story’s power, like the heroine’s talent, reveals itself carefully and cautiously.” —New York Times Book Review
A strongly personal story with a fascinating main character. . . Schneider’s descriptions of the artistic process are nothing short of excellent. The meditation on connections between people and home, and the push and pull of finding maturity, ring real. . . An enjoyable summer read.” —Denver Post
“Faultless prose, lit by faith, hope and love.” —Seattle Times
