“For years, Sean Dietrich has allowed me, and countless others, to join him on a pilgrimage through life. He has been a traveling companion and mentor to me in the arts of noticing, writing, and hoping….Thanks, Sean, for bringing us along. It is a gift to see the world through your eyes.” — Allen Levi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Theo of Golden
“Dietrich can spin a story.” — Southern Living
“A master storyteller, able to create viscerally real characters that leap from the page.”
— Reader’s Digest
“Sean Dietrich is Southern storytelling at its finest; reading his words is like sitting on a front porch with a Mason jar of sweet tea, listening to your uncle weave a story you know in your heart is true, but there’s a little magic thrown in too.” — Annie B. Jones, author of Ordinary Time
“Nobody writes quite like Sean Dietrich. He is the master of storytelling, no question, and he writes with rich, lyrical phrases… and deep insight into the human psyche.” — Southern Literary Review
“His style is easy, inviting us to laugh out loud on occasion. Others touch our hearts deeply. His expressive use of vocabulary reminds me of Norman Rockwell, painting instead with a pen.”— Galveston Daily News
“Dietrich’s sense of humor and openness to others adds layers of richness to the text… [he] cleverly illustrates the importance of maintaining relationships, keeping promises, and being true to oneself.” — Kirkus Reviews
