Quotes

“The hardest tests of adolescence don’t come in English, Algebra, or Biology. They come in those defining moments, when we are asked to know ourselves and to follow our true hearts. In The Life of Glass, the supremely engaging Melissa McAllister has reached her crucible moment. She’s sweet. She’s confused. She’s believable. She’s the right kind of soul for our times.”


- Beth Kephart, author of Undercover and the National Book Award finalist The Slant of Sun, on The Life of Glass
 
"In her memorable debut novel, Cantor follows a family so devastated by the disappearance of a daughter that it never fully recovers."


- Publishers Weekly on The September Sisters
"The Transformation of Things is an elegant and involving page-turner about perception, truth and what's really true about each of our lives. Part mystery, part love story, part coming of age, it is a wonderful book. I could not stop reading!"


- Barbara O'Neal, THE SECRET OF EVERYTHING
"Jillian Cantor's The Transformation of Things is a moving and delicate look beneath the surface of a life, a window into the world of "what-if", one woman's unique journey through a tremendous personal challenge. It speaks to the power of the mind to heal itself, to uncover truth within fiction, and indeed to change one's entire perspective on what makes life important."


- Morgana Gallaway, author of The Nightingale
"A provocative novel that raises fascinating questions about marriage and how to find our way back when love falters. Thoroughly original, highly engaging, and wonderfully tender. I couldn't wait to see how it ended!"


- Laura Fitzgerald, author of Veil of Roses
"Remarkable and magical, THE TRANSFORMATION OF THINGS is a surprising and honest look at the assumptions we make about ourselves and those around us,"


- Maureen Lipinski, author of A Bump in the Road and Not Ready for Mom Jeans
