The Miss America Family (2002) Julianna Baggott "... a writer after my own heart."	Between Two Rivers (2004) Nicholas Rinaldi "Between Two Rivers is a masterpiece, a book that will take your breath away."	The Western Limit of the World (2005) David Masiel "A harrowing, riveting read that transcends its thriller genre without undermining it. Bravo."
Jamesland (2005) Michelle Huneven "Michelle Huneven is a writer of extraordinary and thrilling talent, and JAMESLAND is a marvel."	American Wife (2008) Curtis Sittenfeld "Curtis Sittenfeld is an amazing writer, and American Wife is a brave and moving novel about the intersection of private and public life in America.
