Reviews

"...the wit of Zelda's narrative voice as created by novelist/playwright Betsy Robinson will allow her to connect and be recognized in the world of readers' imaginations. A seriocomic fictional memoir about a runaway from upstate New York who risked her life simply by choosing to live it."

-Shelf Awareness

"Betsy Robinson's writing constantly has a 'Mark Twain-esque' under current flowing through it: direct, call-a-spade-a-spade honesty, that had me laughing, while I actually wanted to cry. She has a chutzpah to her that I have not found in any female author anywhere, anytime, ever. She has a new devoted admirer in me, for sure."

-Something Wordy Blog

"Zelda strikes a cord long after the book is placed on the shelf."
