Previous Review quote from The Chick at the Back of the Church

Praise for Livingston's Previous Work:

Going Down Swinging is a moving first book, and Livingston a compelling new voice — one that should be welcomed and watched.
—The Globe and Mail

Livingston succeeds gorgeously in capturing the messiness and unresolvable ambiguities of familial love.
—National Post

This story is intelligent and touching … In prose that reflects her poetic skills … Livingston resists easy sentimentality at every turn.
—The Toronto Star

Tough, unflinching realism … [She] reveals an unflinching eye and a formidable grasp of the mysteries of the human heart.
—The Vancouver Sun
