“Blisteringly funny … [A] gem-filled novel, a goofy little treasure on every page.”  -- Star Tribune

“Daniels is warmly funny and audacious in this shrewd and saucy mix of family drama, gender discord, sexual healing, and high literature; a raucous yet sensitive tale of one quirky woman’s struggle to overcome the lowest of low self-esteem to get motherhood and love right.”  -- Booklist

"Daniels's charming..debut follows the unlikely course of Barb Barrett, numb and adrift after losing custody of her children...[Her] writing is slick and her characters richly detailed, and even when it dips into sheer goofiness, it's still a pleasure to read.." -- Publisher's Weekly
