"Sophfronia Scott's writing is assured and the emotions are palpable. She's a writer to watch."
Benilde Little, author of Acting Out and Good Hair
"I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading All I Need to Get By. It's a terrific book--beautifully written, really well-drawn characters, emotionally resonant. It's also filled with great integrity--not a false note in there. I'm really proud of you, as I'm sure all your family and friends are, and hope this is the first of many novels to come."
