"Kimmel and her prose are as lovable as ever, her humor laugh-out-loud sharp, piercing the heart when you least expect it." – Helene Stapinski, author of Five-Finger Discount: A Crooked Family History

"Haven Kimmel's memoir is not only great fun, it's full of real pathos and grace. Can I have this family?" – Sean Wilsey, bestselling author of Oh the Glory of It All
