Review Quotes:
Past Praise for Sapphire the Great and the Meaning of Life: "Ever attuned to evolving social dynamics, Brenna presents a family in which the father has left to be with his male companion, and his mystified two children and angry wife are given comfort and cheer by a very large, mannish woman named Anna Conda.... Brenna understands a child's need for warm limits and presents a modern family trying to work its way to safety, comfort, and mutual respect." -- Saskatoon StarPhoenix
