"Furst is an impressively sharp, compassionate and morally scrupulous anatomist of human relationships.... His narrator has a haunting authority." –The New York Times Book Review"Should not be missed by anyone who has an adolescent or who has been one. . . . A kind of brick, hurled at a Starbucks window, but much more dangerous in the end."–Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Joshua Furst [is] in full control of his psychologically complex material, with a tale of 'emotional bondage' as chilling as it is heartbreakingly real." –O, The Oprah Magazine"Remarkable. . . . Manages to capture both the clear heartache of a mother whose child has left home and the fuzzy logic of a mind misled by mental illness. . . . Furst writes with a diction that tugs at the heartstrings." –The Washington Times
