Critical Praise

"A bright and terrifically funny writer…With generous and welcome doses of wit, compassion, and originality, Winston deftly balances the inherent sorrow of life with effervescent humor...Good job. Great book."

——Miami Herald

"Good Grief is one of the best first novels I have ever read, and anyone who thinks there is nothing new to read about loss, pain, love, humor, and ultimate renewal, should grab this book now."

——Anne Rivers Siddons, author of Low Country and Islands

"Irreverent...sharp fun...a combination of poignancy and hilarity...an impressive debut."

——Washington Post Book World

"There are thousands of books about looking for love, but not many about living through tragedy. This witty, big-hearted novel about a smart, funny young woman rebuilding her life and re-creating a family after her husband's untimely death fills that gap beautifully."

——Jennifer Weiner, author of Good in Bed and Little Earthquakes
