"Pulses with an emotional generosity that is rare." –
San Francisco Chronicle "Eloquent, detailed, emotionally honest... Lamott deserves praise for telling it like it is." –
People "Crooked Little Heart... incapacitated me for several days. I could do little else but move from one reading post to another throughout my house and yard, and follow the continuing story of Rosie Ferguson in the summer of her 13th year.... The writing is threaded with precise imagery, tenderness, and high humor." –
L.A. Weekly "Lamott's descriptive talents are considerable and... consistently evocative.
Crooked Little Heart is likely to win [her] the huge and appreciative audience her masterful fiction demands." –
