<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">REVIEWS</span></em></strong><strong></strong></p><p></p> <p>Jen Knox is an exceptionally gifted storyteller, who can take the events of the past and craft them invariably into engaging and compelling narratives.</p> <p><strong>--Phillip Lopate, Author of </strong><em><strong>Notes on Sontag</strong></em><strong></strong></p><p></p> <p><br /> This true tale of grit, survival and eventual rebirth of the psyche is engaging and inspirational, even to a small-town girl like me.</p> <p><strong>--Gretchen A. Phillips, Pearson Education</strong><strong></strong></p><p></p> <p>With her unique voice, Jen tells the poignant, yet raw, story of her journey to adulthood, living on the streets as a runaway and her ultimate struggle to establish her own identity as a woman who truly values herself. This is one of those books that lingers long after the last page.</p> <p><strong>--Heather McIntosh, author of <em>Small Animals First</em></strong><strong></strong></p><p></p> <p>Jen’s a runner, a runaway. Following in the footsteps of her great grandmother, Glory, who defiantly set out on her own near the same young age, and finding commonalities of mental illnesses among the women in her family, Jen must’ve realized her course was set out for her organically. </p> <p>In the writing of <em>Musical Chairs</em>, a memoir blatant and unapologetic, Jen attempts to make sense of herself within the larger family history.  Yet, for all of the similarities Jen discovered between herself and Glory, there is at least one difference: Glory ran away from family, while Jen’s running brought the both of them back.</p> <p><strong>--Jennifer Lynne Roberts, playwright and writer, author of <em>Beekeeper</em> and <em>Book of Taos</em></strong><strong></strong></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p>
