Review:
"The genius of Steven Hayward...is to take the daily slipshod passage of trivial-to-traumatic events, present it as pure storytelling and distill from it the essence of what it means to live, through times both terrible and transcendent... It's been years since I've seen this much fresh talent and wisdom." --The Globe and Mail
