""In the way that Jonathan Franzen's early family epics and Ann Patchett's family dramas burrow into you, Buckeye will become a part of you. As the characters evolve over the years, you'll root for their happiness, cry out for their pain, and forget that this is just a novel. With the family unit as its beating heart, Buckeye is a triumphant and timeless novel that you won't want to end." - Al Woodworth, Amazon editor"
""In the middle of the night, Jen Hatmaker - famous for her charming and best-selling books, an HGTV host, a pastor's wife, and mother-of-five - is shaken awake when she hears her husband of 26 years voice-texting his girlfriend. What follows is an awakening of a different sort. These page-turning chapters will hold readers rapt as Hatmaker begins to interrogate her life. This is an incredible memoir of resolve, resilience, and laughter for anyone who has ever probed their past and present, and opened their arms wide to the future." - Lindsay Powers, Amazon editor"
