Reviews
"Readers should experience the suspense for themselves . . .Facing the Windhad me tossing at night and racing to finish it by day. It is a rare combination of superb reporting and narrative skill . . . It is not a book that can be read and forgotten." - James B. Stewart,New York Times Book Review "Happily for the reader, Ms. Salamon is a fine reporter . . . In tackling the issue of personal heroism,Facing the Windbrings home the point that while certain of life's difficulties can be fought and conquered, others must simply be borne with digity. From what depths do humans draw the strength to do that? What is their reward?" -The New York Times "A suspenseful, well-researched account of the life of a Brooklyn lawyer Robert Rowe, who murdered his wife and three children and escaped prison with the insanity please in 1978 . . . A perturbing read that prods us to ponder guilt and innocence from new perspectives." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review "This true-crime story reaches beyond the relatively narrow focus of the genre to ask painful and provocative questions about guilt and forgiveness." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "…A sensitive and fascinating account…Her book is important not only for its lessons on the ravages of mental illness but for its ability to overturn our assumptions about evil, innocence, guilt and compassion. -- Carmela Ciuraru,The Wall Street Journal "This book will be a fascinating read. Well written and heavily researched, it clearly demonstrates Salamon's prowess and her journalistic roots. Readers will not easily forget this tale." --Library Journal
