This is a wise and fearless book.”—Siobhan Fallon, author of You Know When the Men Are Gone “One of the most honest and genuine memoirs I’ve ever read, as well as one of the most finely written.

The War at Home is that rare thing: a book about the here and now that promises to last well beyond next month or next year.”—Steve Yarbrough, award-winning author of The Realm of Last Chances and Safe from the Neighbors
