Reviews

  • “A miracle of empathy, a tour de force of imaginative conjecture … Writers were invented to produce books like this.”
  • – Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times on In This Sign
  • “Excellent … not only artistically ‘beautiful’ but morally and spiritually beautiful as well.”
  • – Joyce Carol Oates, Chicago Tribune on Rites of Passage
  • “Greenberg writes as brilliantly and familiarly of her adopted Colorado as Willa Cather did of her childhood in Nebraska.”
  • Washington Star on Founder’s Praise

  • “Thought-provoking and heartwarming … compellingly believable characterizations as well as a vibrant evocation of an ordinary life touched by pain and joy, love and sharing, commitment and hope.”
  • Booklist on A Season of Delight

  • “Greenberg hits her full storytelling stride. Stimulating and involving.”
  • Kirkus Reviews on Where The Road Goes
