Critical Praise

"First-time memoirist Carter comes close to perfection in this chronicle of her mother's quest to orchestrate her own assisted suicide."

—Library Journal, Starred Review

"I love this book! Zoe Carter has taken what could be a very sad story and turned it into something beautiful and incredibly insightful. Her portrayal of her mother is wonderful, and reveals in moving and illuminating detail a slice of Washington life."

—Kate Lehrer, author of Confessions of a Bigamist

"I could quote from the book all day…but instead I'll just recommend that those intrigued by the subject spend a little time with the ailing but ferocious Margaret and her daughters."

—The New York Times
