Critical Praise

"Smart, funny, and moving....A gifted and gusty writer....this is what a first collection of stories should be." -Barbara Fisher, Boston Globe "Extraordinary....Beard is writing not with the romanticism of a girl looking up at the stars, but with the brilliant cold light of the stars looking down at us." -Ted Anton, Chicago Tribune

"A luminous, funny, heartbreaking book of essays about life and its defining moments." -Meredith Kahn, Harper's Bazaar

"Beard remembers (or imagines) her childhood self with an uncanny lucidity that startles." -Laura Miller, New York Times Book Review
