Praise for The Comeback Season
"…a deeply moving, often beautifully rendered story…[written] with scenes of genuine emotional power and language of sometimes breathtaking beauty and clarity…Smith is clearly a writer with extraordinary gifts, from whom great things should be expected." - School Library Journal
"[Smith] expertly navigates the themes of loss and the loss of innocence, too. She might be a rookie, but she hits a home run with a poignant and touching novel about hope, perseverance and the strength of the human spirit." – The Columbus Dispatch
"Smith writes earnestly and gets the North Side atmospherics right…Sentimental believers will eat up Ryan's tale." – The Chicago Sun-Times
