“The author’s account is lucidly written, both intellectually thorough and emotionally affecting. In addition, this isn’t a work of ax-grinding political partisanship—Eichinger prefers cool-headed analysis to grandstanding. Further, at the heart of her “part memoir and part storybook” is a profound reflection on the ailing condition of American society, withering from the widespread disintegration of the family and the grim plague of “lovelessness.” Kirkus Reviews
