A few words from Joyce Maynard
about parental estrangement
PRAISE FOR HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN
“In turns joyful and heartbreaking, How the Light Gets In is a wise and bittersweet portrait of a complicated family. Joyce Maynard writes the kind of books that readers adore – bighearted, beautifully crafted, propulsively readable, and full of flawed and fickle characters who make difficult decisions and big mistakes, stumbling through life and love, trying to do their best. A word of advice: clear your calendar before you start reading!”
ADRIENNE BRODEUR, NATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LITTLE MONSTERS AND WILD GAME
“Joyce Maynard’s How the Light Gets In grabbed ahold of me in the first chapter and didn’t let go till I’d finished the epilogue. A master storyteller at the top of her game, Maynard populates her story with characters I worried about, rooted for, and related to. I LOVED this book!”
WALLY LAMB, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
"Joyce Maynard has stitched together a warm, rich patchwork quilt of a novel that reminds us history is made up simply of our stories; and that even in broken, imperfect things one finds beauty and strength.”
