[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fab collection of poetry for people who think they don’t like poetry. Also a great read for those who do.

[Vicki · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is warm, down-to-earth, approachable poetry. The voice is plain-spoken, at times wistful, at times feisty, always charming. Thanks to Leslie Greentree for making us love the supposedly non-beautiful sister so much more.
