Kristjana, at the the Mommy Blog, just posted the sweetest blog entry about Everyone Is Beautiful.

Though I have begged off the most recent slew […]
Just got word of a terrific review for Everyone Is Beautiful from Booklist, which calls it a “superbly written novel filled with unique and resonant characters.” Please see the whole delicious concluding sentence below: “Center takes a woman at her most vulnerable time and sets her on a journey to find herself without losing what […]
