• page turner
  I could not put this down. I read the first 110 pages before falling asleep at bedtime, woke up the next morning and kept reading until the end. I had read the first memoir when it came out and was looking forward to this one, but WOW. Fierce is the perfect title for this fierce memoir.

• Nothing Less Than Remarkable
  I first "met" author Barbara Robinette Moss when I read Change Me Into Zeus's Daughter back in 2001.

• Tom Dering
  I read this book in three days awhile back, and still remember most of it, especially the night I bolted up in bed and turned the light on after dozing and thinking about the rattle snake and said to the air, "There has to be magic." I went back to sleep with that thought.
  I'll never forget the garbage can, which I think is the story of all of us at one time or another. The contemplation of this book followed me around for several weeks, weaving in and out of other books read after it.
  Thanks.

• Review by Irene Watson, author of "The Sitting Swing."
  Again, Barbara has written a compelling story of a part of her life that is insightful, and most of all thought provoking. As I read the book I found myself in many of the pages. It gave me courage and strength to look at my own life.
