Trade Review"In one sense, [Lenney's] book can be seen as therapy, a way of purging a decade's worth of inner turmoil. But the story also explores a broader issue, the way the death of one man can affect the lives of many people... Not a typical 'survivor's autobiography,' but a deeply affecting one."-Booklist Booklist "Before his murder, Dinah Lenney's father was Bigger than Life but looms larger in death."-Elissa Schappell, Vanity Fair -- Elissa Schappell Vanity Fair
