Praise for One Good Deed
"Engaging, funny, wise, and winning, One Good Deed is a measure of humanity and of McHugh's own striving towards it."
-Susan Orlean, author of Rin Tin Tin and
The Orchid Thief
"One Good Deed is original, sweet-natured and often funny… Erin McHugh makes us ordinary mortals feel like real heels."
-Meg Wolitzer, author of The Uncoupling and The Ten-Year Nap
"I loved this book. It's charming and high-spirited and then it sneaks up from behind and breaks/mends your heart!"
-Susan Cheever, writer, teacher, and author of Louisa May Alcott: A Personal Biography
"Erin McHugh spent one year performing one good deed a day and recording her experiences. The result, this lovely, heartfelt book, shows humanity at its very best. Sometimes her good deeds are small and go unnoticed; other times, they're quite important, and will bring a sting of tears to the reader's eyes. Perhaps McHugh will start a trend. We could certainly do with more people like her in the world."
-Kaylie Jones, author of Lies My Mother Never Told Me: A Memoir
"In Erin McHugh's inspiring book-so gently, so directly written from her gentle, direct heart-she tells us at one point to make someone feel visible. I felt more visible myself as I read it, for she sees quite clearly what we all need-to be shown that showing kindness to others is showing kindness to ourselves."
-Kevin Sessums, author of Mississippi Sissy
