Review Quotes:
By the Waters of Paradise may leave readers questioning Kinberg's thoughts about Rose and her extended family, but this well-done memoir offers an interesting look at American history from a different perspective. Underlying the memoir is the author's desire to discover a safe haven for those who don't fit society's heterosexual, racial, Christian norms. One doesn't have to agree with all the author's stories of her aunt in order to appreciate the lessons she seeks to teach.
