"It is just so beautifully written. Her mom and dad emerge as fully drawn, loving, endearing, exasperating, complex, wonderful people. Trish has a real gift for storytelling and dialogue. She is funny. She can be dead serious. I laughed. I cried. I just loved this book and everyone in it and everything about it. I can’t praise it enough. With every single evocative description, every hilarious and fresh turn of phrase, and every authentic and powerful scene of dialogue, she is drawing us closer and closer in to her world and creating a tribute to her loving family. She writes with a singular grace and passion."
