Prepare to laugh, prepare to cry, but don't get too comfortable. Stephens allows her readers time to settle in before she delivers the big punch: rest assured, it's coming. She digs deep time and time again yet leaves one with the impression that it bubbles to the surface all on its own. I suspect this collection will remain dear to me for years to come.
