A Legendary Author's Praise

| Beverly Cleary, the venerable author of the classic Ramona Quimby children's books, counts herself among Lamott's fans. She listed the author as one of her favorites in an interview with Barnes & Noble.com, saying, "I always look forward to the next book by Anne Lamott, who writes with self-mocking and brutal honesty about her own life in California."
