review 1: An engaging and clever look at life in a commune. It takes a neutral stand on communes in general, not condemning or praising, and the plot is richly emotional and captivating. Even though you are reading about someone whose life is probably quite different from yours, you always feel that you are reading first and foremost about a person, who is not defined by their background but by their choices and kindness.
review 2: A wonderful coming of age story that emphasizes the importance of critical thinking skills. Starbird is an incredibly likeable character. It's captivating to see how she navigates her commune (cult?) connection now that she's in the outside world. I liked that she wasn't afraid to step up and use her skills to help others. At age 33 I'm still... more unsure of myself and my place in the world. Starbird definitely has that on me. less
