"If there are 'Jean Thompson characters,' they're us, and never have we been so articulate and worthy of compassionThese stories concrm that no one is beneath her interest, or beyond her sure and seemingly limitless reach." -- David Sedaris
"Thompson is a writer of extraordinary intelligence and sensitivity." -- Vince Passaro, O, The Oprah Magazine
