PRAISE FOR LAURIE LEWIS 
Laurie Lewis writes with sophistication and simplicity about her
precarious and abundant life. … the sadness that flows from
her innocence and experience is oddly beautiful.
– Elizabeth Hay, author of Snow Road and Late Nights on Air
An independent woman when the phrase was still an oxymoron…
Laurie Lewis tells her intimate story with wit, panache and touching
honesty.
– Michele Landsberg, author of Writing the Revolution
Her writing is so beautifully precise, often tactile, that at times it feels
a little like wandering about with her as she points things out ...
until we can also see just as plainly.
– Carin Makuz, interview, (at) eleven chatting with writers, August 2015
