Review Quotes




"[Rivenbark]'s as rebellious, irreverent, and comical as ever." --Publishers Weekly

"...a rip-roaring read.... What makes Rivenbark's writing so entertaining is that it's a lot like seeing a stand-up comedy act: she does an uncanny job of keeping the flow of comedy fresh." --Book Reporter
