I loved this book. It spoke to me in all the ways Judy Goldman hoped (I would imagine), and Im certain it will resonate with a passel of readers, young and old. Its an exploration of the nature of time itself: how we move through it, understand ourselves in it, and relearn ourselves in the reflection of the hearts of the people we love and the people who love us.Daniel Wallace, author of Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions and This Isnt Going to End Well: The True Story of a Man I Thought I Knew

Praise for Judy Goldman:
If Goldman doesnt offer easy answers to the vexing questions of life, she does outline a process by which we can puzzle our way into the moment and make the best of what fate offers us.Stephan Smith, Salt Magazine
When writing her memoirs, Judy does not shy away from difficult or controversial topics. One of the reasons her memoirs are so memorable is that they are not simple retellings of the surface details of her life.Mark West, Storied Charlotte
