In a recent review, The Long Beach examiner quotes, “A work of fiction in diary format, Bannerman takes us on a journey of surprising highs and extraordinary lows. Her portrayal of Tara’s ascension into the world from child to woman is felt with each impasse, and by the end, it’s as if we were there beside her, witnessing it all first hand.” And in a review by the Book Bum, critics rave, “Bannerman’s ability to transition Tara’s voice from child to woman is at once cogent and impressive.”
