Praise for The Patron Saint of Pregnant Girls "By the author of the beloved Stones from the River, Hegi's new novel is sure to be her next beloved book...A writer at the height of her powers. I can't think of a better way to 'endorse' a novel than to say I will be gifting it to my book-loving friends and family--a gift, mind you, not a loan, as I want to keep this title in my keeper bookshelf along with several others of my favorite of Hegi's novels. As in a circus after a particularly riveting performance, The Patron Saint of Pregnant Girls deserves a thunderous round of applause." --Julia Alvarez, author of In the Time of the Butterflies, How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, Saving the World, and most recently A Wedding in Haiti "The Patron Saint of Pregnant Girls is a novel full of marvels--children with missing fathers, girls too young to be mothers, nuns who cherish their charges, circus acrobats, the beautiful northern light--but the greatest marvel is Ursula Hegi's shimmering, radiant, vivid prose. Her characters, and their lives full of love and longing, leap off the page and into the reader's heart." --Margot Livesey, New York Times bestselling author of Mercury and The Flight of Gemma Hardy Praise for Ursula Hegi "An outstanding talent." --The New York Times Book Review "A writer of grace and immediacy." --Meg Wolitzer "Epic, daring, magnificent." --Los Angeles Times "Unforgettable." --The Washington Post "Stunning." -- Los Angeles Times "Deeply moving." --J.M.
