“I haven’t read a lot of memoirs in my time, I always go for fiction, but let me tell you, Maggie’s story is as close to fiction as you can be,” writes book blogger Kari Anderson in her review of Maggie Myklebust’s Fly Away Home (Summertime, 2012). “There were times when I was reading the book that I caught myself saying, ‘This all really happened in her life?’”
Later Kari expresses her admiration for Maggie’s courage in writing about the more sinister events in her life. “… there were very honest moments about her father and her first husband and she was honest about her son’s autism. These are all very tough moments to write about and she did it all very respectably and heartfelt … [Maggie] is the epitome of never giving up.”
