The character of Anne is so well drawn, that by the end of the book, she feels like a friend or someone you know and are rooting for.
The depiction of therapy is fascinating -- it's obvious that Sharon Baltman knows of what she speaks.
Maureen Jennings , author of the Murdoch Mysteries An eccentric seventy-year-old is obsessed with changing her life -- or ending it.
She bumbles through mysterious rituals with a talk-therapist, explodes secrets, re-jigs behaviours and embraces bliss in the arms of a woman who was right in front of her for fifty years.
A wry, empathetic portrait of a character's unsparing trek to the heart of the matter in matters of the heart.
Ted Staunton , author of Who I'm Not and Jump Cut Anne is authentic, cranky and funny.
Baltman does a great job of preventing the therapist from overwhelming the story, yet shows her value.
The end of the beautiful tale gave me chills.
Sharon Gernon , retired psychotherapist.
