Review:
Praise for At Risk "Graceful...emotionally potent...A cathartic tale that begs us, with heartbreaking eloquence, to stop looking the other way."--Glamour "Within pages, the reader falls in love with this very real little girl... Moving, dramatic and painfully human."--Miami Herald "I have rarely encountered a work that has moved me as strongly... extraordinary."--Mademoiselle "Deeply impressive...powerful."--Newsweek "Deeply moving...Sensitivity and empathy...radiate from this beautiful novel."--Chicago Sun-Times "Compassionate...This is a serious, honest novel."--Village Voice "Tender, strikingly simple and deeply memorable."--Kirkus Reviews "An affecting novel of exquisite delicacy, with humor, warmth, and sensitivity. Miss Hoffman heals wounds with the gentle touch of an angel."--Joseph Heller
