Critical Praise

"Stewart creates a crisis of faith where adult reality collides with youthful dreams. The writing is tactile, elemental, even comical, providing readers with a situation that could so easily be their own."

—Library Journal

"Heartbreaking and darkly humorous. . . . [Stewart] is an acute social observer."

—BookPage.com

"Leah Stewart’s brilliantly written novel Husband and Wife is a deeply human book: funny, tender, smart, self-aware. When you read it you will laugh, you will cry, you will recognize others, you will recognize yourself."

—Elin Hilderbrand, author of The Castaways and Barefoot

"Stewart’s book does what real life doesn’t always allow: It gives the woman a voice."

—Raleigh News & Observer
