Praise for How the Light Gets In

“Joyce Maynard has stitched together a warm, rich patchwork quilt of a novel that reminds us history is made up simply of our stories, and that even in broken, imperfect things one finds beauty and strength.” ~ Jodi Picoult, #1 NY Times Bestselling author 

​

"If ever we needed a novel capable of healing our troubled, world-weary souls, that time is now. But where, oh where is the book? Actually, it has arrived: Joyce Maynard's new novel, How the Light Gets In. And what a gift it is."  Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Empire Falls.
