From the Globe and Mail:

It’s rare to encounter writing that presents the gauche, the blundering, the physically and mentally malformed, with such heartening humanity… She does it with sly humour and often with an admirable simplicity of telling…

From the Winnipeg Free Press:

In her delightful first collection… Baker displays a remarkable ability to create a variety of complex, intriguing characters… her stories are funny, sad, and thought provoking. But what makes them memorable is their humanity, their rightness — the nuances of experience that provoke in the reader the urge to say, ‘Yes!’
