Critical Praise

"Girl meets boy, girl gets boy, girl gets kidney…Moonface is full of people doing the best they can to take care of each other, and reading it is a rare refresher course in ordinary human kindness."

—Marion Winik, author of First Comes Love and The Glen Rock Book of the Dead

"What makes Balcita’s memoir so brightly entertaining is the unequaled sense of humor and perspective with which she and her devoted boyfriend-cum-spouse, Charlie, challenge these health problems. Certainly, Balcita’s pitch-perfect prose and intrinsic sense of timing don’t hurt either."

—Booklist

"[Angela Balcita’s] story is a sweet testimony to the power of family, love, perseverance, and hope. And three cheers for her husband, Charlie, a natural comic and all-around great guy."

—Julie Metz, New York Times bestselling author of Perfection
