Reviews

"Wise, irreverent, honest, and utterly compelling... Sonya Huber finds unexpected truth and gentle comedy in every bizarre corner of this insane labyrinth we call our health-care system." Dinty W. Moore, author of Between Panic and Desire "The sheer, jet-propelled energy of this memoir elevates it into a tour de force. I found it by turns hilarious and heartbreaking." Sue William Silverman, author of Fearless Confessions: A Writer's Guide to Memoir "Timely, passionate, informative, and moving, Sonya Huber's Cover Me is a scathing memoir of an uninsured young mother's encounter with health care in America." Floyd Skloot, author of In the Shadow of Memory
