“I love
Dear Exile, and I love the women
in it. I opened it one afternoon, then just couldn’t put it down. Here is a
girlfriend relationship that I actually recognize. Their humor, love, and
world view is to me, simply, perfection.”
--Whitney Otto, author
of How to Make an American Quilt
“Remember how Rebecca
Wells’ The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya
Sisterhood inspired women all over the country to form all manner
of spirited girl-circles? Now there’s a book that should motivate us all to
buff up our bonds through the perhaps-not-so-lost art of letter writing….[Dear
Exile] brings worlds—and, one might hope, the friendships of
readers—closer together.”

“An unusually
thoughtful record of a female relationship and of the emotional swings that
greet most of us in our mid-20s.”
--Newsday
“An encouraging look
at the post-college world as well as a tribute to female friendship. It
seems that there is, indeed, both life and friendship after graduation.”

“Delightful….The
wicked pleasure of reading someone else’s mail reaches new heights here, as
both women are such engaging writers: funny, original and vibrant.”
--Austin
Chronicle
“A humorous, touching,
real-as-daylight collection of letters that appeals on several levels: as
engaging travel literature, a witty exploration of modern women’s lives, and
as a testament to the power and blessing of friendship.”
