Critical Praise

"Beyond wonderful --- wickedly funny, poignant, and smart. Anyone who’s a fan of Mary Karr or Anne Lamott will find Cathie Beck’s Cheap Cabernet both laugh-out-loud hysterical --- and heartbreaking."

—Elle Newmark, bestselling author of Unholy Mischief

"Cathie Beck’s Cheap Cabernet is a bracing story of a woman who took the crappy hand life had dealt her and turned it into a big win. With an awe-inspiring stamina, she kept going long past the point other people --- like me --- would've quit. I devoured this empowering and very funny memoir from the first page."

—Julie Klam, author of Please Excuse My Daughter

"This is a beautiful book about two remarkable women. I read Cheap Cabernet in one breathless sitting. I gulped it down and then I sat there and let the taste of love and sorrow and redemption linger for a long time."

—Alison Smith, author of Name All the Animals
