"Devens writes with exquisite insight about the bonds that connect women together, and her gift for creating richly nuanced characters will have fans of Patricia Gaffney, Luanne Rice, and Mary Alice Monroe sighing happily with satisfaction. Pair this with the author’s ability to vividly evoke the special summertime magic of the seashore in Maryland, and you have the perfect beach read for the long, hot days of summer." --John Charles, Reader to Reader review of Barefoot Beach Booklist called Toby Devens' writing "Humorous and heartwarming." Wendy Wax said, "Warm, witty and wonderful." People magazine called her work "Beguiling." Toby Devens is an author of mainstream women's fiction (men enjoy her novels, too).
