Booklist
"Her early excursions
outside the hospital are nearly disastrous yet truly funny as are
her adventures at home with a three-year-old child." Kirkus

"Her
humorous, tear-jerking, struggle-to-recover-against-all-odds story
is a lesson in finding silver linings". Publishers Weekly
"Don't Leave
Me This Way's unique tone and utterly un-maudlin appeal is perhaps
best summed up by its spunky yet spiky subtitle..." Elle Magazine

and triumphant moments" Boston
Magazine
