Critical Praise

"The Singing and Dancing Daughters of God is an honest and unflinching story of families unraveled and the heartache and joy only loved ones can spark in each other. With skill and tenderness, Timothy Schaffert unfolds his characters' hopes, strengths, and frailties in this gorgeous novel, revealing the crazy-quilt fabric of humanity."

——Jennie Shortridge, author of Eating Heaven and Riding With the Queen

"Achy-breaky dysfunction drives a messy, funny family drama in this smalltown Nebraska tale, told in a winning faux-naïve style…film, along with music, plays a wonderful incidental role throughout… Deft, sweet and surprising."
