Critical Praise

"A beautifully written, finely wrought, race-to-the-end novel about finding your family, finding a life and finding yourself. Tish Cohen is the next great thing in women’s fiction."

—Allison Winn Scotch, New York Times bestselling author of The One That I Want and Time of My Life

"Tish Cohen knows how to slide us into a story, letting us imagine we might know the pathway. But we are wrong because she is a wonderful storyteller and will surprise us at every turn. She has created a cast of characters who are filled with delicious human frailty and love. If you think you know anything about parental love and misguided choices, think again. Cohen peels away the layers of families and human desires and leaves us with a world of hope."

—Jacqueline Sheehan, New York Times bestselling author of Lost & Found and Now & Then

"What is more wrenching for a girl than being separated from her mother? In this engrossing novel, The Truth About Delilah Blue, estranged parents navigate narrow lines of legitimacy in the aftermath of an awful twelve-year family separation. It is impossible to turn away from these damaged yet engaging characters as they struggle to either erase or face the past. Cohen, who writes with clarity, wit, and warmth, is brilliant in her penetration of the family layers, presenting all sides of the drama by allowing each character to be the star of their own show. This is a book that won’t be set aside until the last page is turned."

—Randy Susan Meyers, author of The Murder's Daughters
