Review:
"Deford infuses this tale with laugh-out-loud humor and tremendous insight into the mysteries and wonder of being 14. And in Kathryn, he's molded an unforgettable character of immense courage and dignity. This is that rare literary effort that both entertains and inspires."
"Deford manages to twang the heart strings without being maudlin or sentimental, while delivering two memorable characters."
"Deford clearly exercises good craftsmanship in his eighth novel. Recommended."
