"A wondrous, unforgettable, absolutely original
book, one
of the dearest books of my lifetime, transcending its form and
transcendent in content. Seldom, seldom portrayed content, essential
for our country's self-knowledge, for here, pulsing with life
and passionate truth are the experiencings, the lives of millions
of our girls growing into young womanhood."----Tillie Olsen
"This
little book is terrific; you'll be shocked,
you'll cry, and you'll become more understanding of the realities
of what young girls can face today."
------Jane Fonda
"Heartbreaking,
brave, compassionate and close to the bone, Katherine Arnoldi's story
is an amazing one." -------Roz
Chast
"Katherine
Arnoldi's story is a story of real villains and heroes, no halfway-there
people. It is a story of huge mother-love, not halfway-there.
And all through it, the smile of a child that just melts you. ---------Carolyn
Chute
This book is a wonderful
little movie you can hold in your hand.
Arnoldi draws as well as she writes.
and like the best memoriists, gets beyond the facts to the heart
of the matter, the way things feel." ----------Hettie
Jones
"This is a warm and
courageous book.....Katherine Arnoldi's open-hearted honesty
is truly amazing."----------Diane di Prima
"A
beautiful, warm, scary, and true book....As funny as it
is, it makes you wonder. As depressing
as it is, it's an inspiration."
----------Beverly Donofrio
"Too bad for you if
you don't take this book and stick it in your heart."
------Gordon Lish
"Katherine
Arnoldi is God sent. Her pictorial memoir could become the type of
tool no one can be without."
reg.E. gaines
"(Katherine
Arnoldi's) book is bound to inspire other young women to do things they
might have thought wre impossible for them to achieve. I certainly
hope it does." ----Melissa
Ludtke
