"Amy Bloom has many voices and lives many lives. . . . Come to Me is charged from the first line. . . .

"What this gifted storyteller offers on every page is an offer impossible to refuse: Come in, sit down and prepare to be beguiled. . . . Bloom is the psychotherapist as alchemist, transmuting the messy dross of everyday life into the gold of artfully shaped fiction." -- Newsday
