What are others saying about Hello?
“During the 1960’s, Carole King released an album entitled Tapestry–a masterful weaving of story and song. A half-century later, author Liza Wiemer has mirrored that blend by wonderfully stringing together several forms of narration, one specific to each of her characters. Hello? is a truly remarkable and memorable story communicated in a superbly envisioned way.”–Paul Volponi, award-winning author of The Final Four, Game Seven, and Black and White.
“A triumph of writing and humanity. The characters stayed with me long after I read the book.” —Huntley Fitzpatrick, author of The Boy Most Likely To, What I Thought Was True, and My Life Next Door
“Brave, beautiful, and wholly original, this story about tantalizing connections and heartbreaking relationships will haunt you, fill you with hope, and leave you smiling.”—Martina Boone, author of Compulsion and the Heirs of Watson Island series
