University Campus:
"The photos are brilliant, and the writing inspired. However what most stands out to me, recalling my long-ago days in high school publishing, is how well you have integrated the two — that flow and pacing are incredibly hard.... The book is more than I ever expected, and it's keeping me up because I don't want to ever put it down !"

Colin writes from London: "It's so great to see some of the other side of the US -- not much coverage of this kind of material in the UK. A fantastic collection... truly refreshing and uplifting."

Australia:
"This is the best book I ever read." Still, why quote Australia for a major American story? Because US news media totally missed it. But, as mentioned, that independent photographer following the body copy--and its expletive-undeleted variations--put 260 of her historic photos in an historic book, further illuminated by her own passionate, witty, tough-and-tender text (and weirdly perfect "frames").
