Astonishes in its honesty. . . . What greater gift can a memoir bring than a self revealed in all its grubby particulars?
-Rebecca Pepper Sinkler, The Washington Post Book World A diary of a day that encapsulates the memories, reflections, and yearnings of a lifetime as gracefully as a Fabergé egg captures spring sunlight in its tiny interior.

-Kirkus Reviews For Grumbach, living is an adventure on the magic carpet ride of memory, reverie, and imagination. Life in a Day affirms the ripples of meaning which can emanate out of simple rituals, happenings, and activities.
-Frederic A. Brussat, Body Mind Spirit [Life in a Day] illuminates the way memory has woven itself into the fabric of a rich life. . . . To spend a day with [Grumbach] is rewarding.
-Patricia Roth Schwartz, Lambda Book Report [A] wise and lovely little book.
-Barbara Holliday, Detroit Free Press This is a profoundly optimistic book: a validation of the strength and the tranquility to be found within the confines of the human mind.
