"Dine's prose is a poet's prose, often beautiful . . . [the book] reads like a skier on a slalom course full of jigs, jags, and quick jumps that capture a good amount of the fine surprises and sudden disasters in her life."
-- Norman Mailer

“Our clients are helped to deal with trauma by voicing to us, their anguished memories. Indeed, Carol Dine’s whole book could be viewed as a prose poem dealing with the infliction of pain, bearing the pain and surviving pain.”
 -- Sophie Freud LICSW, Ph.D., Professor Emerita, Simmons College School of Social Work, , Author, “Living in the Shadow of the Freud Family”

"It is easy to say that Places in the Bone is an inspiring read about survival and the passion one woman has for healing her life. More difficult to phrase is the mineral truth that filters out of [Dine's] decades-long meditation about how to live with an aim towards honesty...Brave and ernest, this book is an excellent place to launch one's own exploration."
