“In the simplest terms, I loved this book. The language brims with a relentless and questioning mind, yet one that is also washed like a watercolor. Apocalypse in Blue so aptly captures one woman's journey, yet in its specific gaze, it blossoms to envelop all of us. This is a truest of true memoirs of what it means to be alive in an unjust world.”
~Victoria Chang, author ofTree of Knowledge: Poems
“Taut, beautifully-written, and suspenseful, this resonant feminist drama eschews easy answers. A page-turner of the highest caliber.”

" A rich fabric of love, mystery, anguish, and faith.”

“In terms of summoning reader sympathy, few could outdo the young protagonist of Amy Hassinger’s first novel, who finds coming of age even more complicated when a showing of nude portraits of herself, painted by her artist mother, garners all the wrong kind of attention.”
