Praise for A Travel Guide for Reckless Hearts

"N. M. Kelby has long been one of my favorite writers, and her new story collection, A Travel Guide for Reckless Hearts, is the sweet, pure, hilarious, sneakily profound essence of her. We ache and we laugh: this is the experience of reading N. M. Kelby just as it is the experience of living in the 21st century." --Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, and the novel, Hell

"This is a collection of love stories, each and every one of them true to what goes on between us when our hearts collide. Beautiful, sweet, and a little sad: love, exactly. N. M. Kelby knows a thing or two." --Daniel Wallace, author of four novels including Big Fish, which was also a film of the same name

"Kelby peeks into the hidden places of the heart, the sweet spot where love dwells." --Patti Callahan Henry, author of six novels, including Between the Tides
