"The History of Us stays the course and shows how a family
negotiates through a particular crisis. Leah Stewart seems to love
her characters even when they are not especially lovable, and gives
them space and time enough to grow and change."--
"BookReporter.com"
"Leah Stewart plunges deep into questions of home and heart. The
History of Us is a lovely novel. Just lovely."--Ann Hood, author of
The Red Thread and The Knitting Circle
"Tender and compelling, The History of Us explores how we define
our family and who, ultimately, we are both with and without them.
These characters and their stories stuck with me long after the
final page, and Leah Stewart proves once again that she is a master
of understanding the complexity of human nature."--Allison Winn
Scotch, author of The Song Remains the Same and Time of My Life
"A sprawling novel with some of the off-kilter charm of Anne
Tyler's work, The History of Us glows with affection for its
wounded, familiar characters."-- "Boston Globe"
"Leah Stewart possesses magic. It is awe-inspiring to see how
clearly and sensitively she presents the numerous ways her
characters are broken and then finds a way to offer some hope of
healing. With the family at the heart of The History of Us, Stewart
shows that she is unafraid of difficult characters and that she is
equally unafraid of making sure they matter to us."--Kevin Wilson,
author of The Family Fang
