New review from Ashley Memory
Many thanks to Ashley Memory (author of NAKED AND HUNGRY, a terrific novel, coming out soon) for posting this kind review here and on Amazon.
From Ashley:
"I was hooked the moment I read the first line of this exquisite book [Sleeping with Patty Hearst]. ... As a child of the seventies, I could identify with the paradox presented by the themes of liberation and the ties of family. Yet Moore navigates the tricky emotional landscape with authority, compassion, and uncommon eloquence. Lily, the teenage protagonist, emerges as the strongest and most mature character in the story. I admired her loyalty to her sister and her desire to view her mother as sympathetically as she could. She overcomes the sting of heartbreak with courage and seems to ultimately recognize that she is responsible for her own happiness, which is a lesson for us all. I highly recommend this book and it will be one I will re-read many times."
Thank you, Ashley!
