Author Gillian Garr reviews Blowing Smoke in the Belltown Messenger: "It's one of those books I couldn't put down, blazing through it in a day."
She concludes, "Do get Wolraich's book. In addition to making me cry, it also made me laugh. At such tidbits as this: in 17th century England, those fun-loving Puritans banned Christmas trees (too pagan), caroling (too Catholic) and nativity scenes (too idolatrous). As Wolraich puts it: now, that's a war a Christmas! Has Bill O'Reilly been informed?"
