Reviews of The Assault of Laughter

--Lisa Neff, The Chicago Free-Press
"A beautiful book. Melissa Hart brings her reality into sharp focus with fluidity, thoughtfulness and great simplicity."--Mariana Romo-Carmona,author of Living at Night
"A moving memoir by the adult daughter of a lesbian mother."
--COLAGE (Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere)
