"I was on the verge of tears more than once in the course of Dani Shapiro's impeccably structured spiritual odyessy. But Devotion's biggest triumph is its voice: funny and unpretentious, concrete and earthy--appealing to skeptics and believers alike. This is a gripping, beautiful story."

Ambitious...thrilling...Shapiro’s subtle, nuanced handling of her material emphasizes the radical subjectivity of experience, and builds into a powerful and compelling point.

Her portrayal of a mother and wife struggling to accept the limits of her love and custody will resonate with anyone who has wished they could protect someone, and failed."

- Jillian Dunham, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

With fluid prose and keen observation, Shapiro takes us achingly close to the center of a tortured heart and soul."
