“A refreshing antidote to memoirs about child-hood trauma. . . . A coming of age story that’s at

once universal and deeply individual.”—People Magazine

“Evocative and poignant.”—The Oregonian

“�e author conveys her time (the 1960s) and setting (Los Angeles) with precision and detail; her feel for story, structure and understatement

rightfully earns the poignancy of many moments.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Readers will enjoy this journey through Conlon-McIvor's Irish American, Catholic-school child-

hood. An endearing, truthful, and joyful account of coming of age in the 1960s and 1970s; highly

recommended.”—Library Journal

“A delightful and compelling read.”—Elle

“FBI Girl is a gorgeous, sumptuous book. Conlon-McIvor takes a subject (herself and her

family) that might have sunk in other hands, beats egg white under her words and the whole thing rises like a dream. It's a love story for her

people and for a time and place. Read it."—Alexandra Fuller, author, Leaving Before the Rains
