It is enormously helpful to have so much cutting-edge criticism of Paterson gathered in one place, addressing such a wide range of her writing from such a breadth of perspectives: narratology, theology, feminist theory, and personal response...a gift for scholars, teachers, and readers of Paterson to savor.

This is truly a definitive collection of essays about the writing of Katherine Paterson.
