Sobre IBD

’Marie Sheppard Williams is delightfully politically incorrect. She takes us inside sheltered workshops, hospitals, funeral parlors, assorted agencies staffed by social workers, and to a United Way picnic attended by dwarfs. Her characters are unique and unforgettable. This is a disarming, disturbing book.'-Maxine Kumin, author of Women, Animals, & Vegetables, winner of the Pulitzer Prize.’Worldwide Church is an absolute joy. I have been reading it all day.and made a fool of myself at Starbucks because I was laughing so hard that tears ran down my face, and then I started to cry..'-Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird, and Traveling Mercies’It’s a wonderful book!..'-Bill Holm, Minnesota Author of The Heart Can Be Filled Anywhere on Earth; and Minnesota Book Award Winner
