Industry Reviews
"And yet, despite its dark subject, MIDDLETOWN AMERICA: ONE TOWN'S PASSAGE FROM TRAUMA TO HOPE, by Gail Sheehy, is an upbeat book. Despite all the failings she sees in how Americans deal with death and bereavement, Sheehy finds a positive message, which she describes with her trademark dramatic compassion."
New York Times Book Review - Robert Sullivan (09/21/2003)
"This admirable book tells precisely the stories we could stand to hear more about."
Publishers Weekly (08/11/2003)
"...Ms. Sheehy's detailed reporting of her subjects' experiences...makes for compelling reading....In tracking what happened to these people and their neighbors in the months after 9/11, Ms. Sheehy is able to trace the very different ways people tried to come to terms with their grief...."
New York Times Book Review - Michiko Kakutani (09/03/2003)
