Lamott has a conversational style that perfectly conveys her friendly, self-deprecating humor." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "Eloquent, detailed, emotionally honest.

She is nothing short of miraculous." -The New Yorker " sidesplittingly funny, patiently wise, and alternately cranky and kind." -Seattle Times "Lamott writes about subjects that begin with capital letters (Alcoholism, Motherhood, Jesus). real genius lies in capturing the ineffable, describing not perfect moments, but imperfect ones. Lamott deserves praise for telling it like it is." -People From the Hardcover edition., "Anne Lamott is a cause for celebration.
