"This was a great book. I loved every paragraph, every sentence and every word of this masterpiece! I read it in 12 hours, which is a lot for me to do! It had everything and more laid out in the novel! I sure hope There is more to come from this author! I am totally hooked!"

"Despite the dopey title, this is one of the best books of the year, a moving and thrilling journey of Penny, an acquired savant who leaves the comfort of the special school she's been in for many years to brave the real world and try to find her father, who she believes left her and her mom just after she went into a coma from falling down the stairs. On her way she meets Travis and Fia, who each play a part in her road to freedom, along with loan sharks, assassins, government agents and long-lost relatives. The outcome of this adventure is as satisfying, in its own weird way, as the steps taken to get there simply because it's so fitting. A terrific job by Wilson, who I've read twice before and has shown flashes of both brilliant and above-average storytelling. It's definitely the former here. 4.5 stars bumped to 5 for the quality of writing and overall satisfaction at the finish. Very highly recommended. Thanks to Netgalley for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review. "

"What can I say about The father she went to find? What I can say is that this book was simply wonderful and everything I would want in a book. Hope, despair, longing for happiness, loveable characters, and it takes place (in part) in my home state! I was HOOKED on page 1!!! I loved that the chapters were short, making it a great read even while trying to keep an eye on two crazy toddlers!"
