Growing Up Moffett made me laugh out loud, cry in public, and then spend time wondering how the author ever made it to adulthood..."
Congressional Staffer, age 26, Washington, DC. "This book is a paper version of a girl's night out with Sarah Moffett. You'll find yourself wanting to order dessert (or another martini) in the hopes she'll keep going, but dying for a period with a pause long enough to go to the ladies room."

"It's exhilarating and exhausting...just like Sarah Moffett." Attorney, age 33, Arlington, VA.
Like stumbling on a diary left in the closet by a prior owner of your home, Growing Up Moffett is difficult to put down as the author reveals her childhood experiences and formative memories page by page with humor, introspection, drama, and angst.

"To live in the world of Sarah Moffett is passionate, endearing, curious, and entertainingly familiar."

"This book is a sentimental journey of a precocious and mischievous child, who is sometimes too smart for her own good. The author's cackling sense of humor has you laughing, crying and eager to keep reading."

The book was an emotional roller coaster very similar to experiences in my own life. I quickly learned not to read it unless I was in the privacy of my own home, though it was worth every embarrassing public display of emotion. It made me stop and think about how amazing it all is the resilience of the human heart, especially with God at its core.

"Growing Up Moffett is written from a child s perspective, yet embraces the darkness that comes with the loss of innocence and the beginning of understanding death early on in life." --The Alexandria Times, Alexandria, VA
"If her first book, Growing Up Moffett: The Rise and Fall of Innocence in a Pathos Plagued Year-a funny, touching, poignant, wickedly witty and engaging memoir-is any indication, I don't think Ms. Moffett will be moonlighting much longer." --Roxboro Courier-Times
Growing Up Moffett resonates with laughter and broods with intensity as a witty, sarcastic, and occasionally humorous account of childhood experiences involving professional disaster-manager parents who move the family across the country to care for dying relatives. This parental expertise was necessary to manage botched black belt exams, scientific experiments gone awry, multiple emergency room trips, budding geniuses, and adventurous vacations.
While it is common for a publisher to promote a book as a can't put down, must-read, this truly is the case with Growing Up Moffett.
