Review Quotes




"Kushner's riveting memoir, Alligator Candy, begins by asking how any parent or family can survive such unimaginable evil and devastating grief....Parents today can understand the love, hope and fear he so eloquently describes in this account of one family's transcendent courage in the face of crushing pain." --Bookpage, "Top Ten Book of the Month"

"A powerful exploration of loss, survival and the tricks of memory." --NPR, Best Books of 2016

"A raw story about courage, survival and most certainly about love." --Tampa Bay Times

"Kushner's moving book is not only a memorial to a brother tragically deprived of his right to live; it is also a meditation on the courage necessary to live freely in a world riven by pain, suffering, and evil. A probing, poignant memoir abouttragedy, grief, and trying to cope." --Kirkus Reviews
