"A winning, nuanced portrait. . . . It seems unlikely we'll ever have a better record of a remarkable American life." -USA Today

"There are many reasons to be grateful forThe Mockingbird Next Door....A zesty account of two women living on their own terms yet always guided by the strong moral compass instilled in them by their father.... It is also an atmospheric tale of changing small-town America; of an unlikely, intergenerational friendship between the young author and her elderly subjects; of journalistic integrity; and of grace and fortitude.... The world Mills depicts is sadly gone, but-lucky for us-she caught it just in time."-Washington Post
