Reviews

"Knowles has perfectly told an intriguing story of dysfunctional characters who cannot, will not, or are unable to communicate because of fear...fear of learning the truth, fear of hurting others, fear of losing love." --VOYA "...the story [...] funnels family oddities, secrets, and personal melodrama into eventual respect for family differences." --School Library Journal
