"As in Seeing Pink, O’Rourke pushes the envelope, taking the commonplace theme of women’s friendships into dangerous territory and dramatizing what women can do not just to help themselves, but also to bring justice to others."

                                         . . . and Seeing Pink

“Deftly written, O’Rourke’s debut is full of appealing characters and moments that sparkle with tenderness.”

                 - Publisher’s Weekly

                                        

“Seeing Pink is a sharp read, scattered with shards of shrewd humor and painful honesty. We care about O’Rourke’s strong, likable heroine as she pursues truth, justice, and the deviant way.”

                 - Laura Leone, award-winning author of Fever Dreams and Fallen From Grace

                                        

“Seeing Pink is the kind of story that haunts you long after you’ve read the last page. The characters feel real because Erin O’Rourke has applied a rare and extraordinary talent to make them so. O’Rourke makes you care. That’s an enviable talent. We’re blessed O’Rourke shares that talent with us.”

“Erin O’Rourke uses some humor and deep characterization to make the case that one incident ignored is unacceptable.”

“This novel speaks to many issues facing women.”

                 - The Sunday Oklahoman

                                        

“O’Rourke offers an interesting examination of human nature as she explores the souls of five truly desperate women.”

                 - Booklist

                                        

“Every woman should read this book. Men, too, if you want to understand the female psyche. Seeing Pink is fresh, vivid writing with distinct characterizations. As a writer, I admire (envy) the voice of this new author. You’ll be pulled into the lives of these five women, living every moment with them, and you’ll find yourself relating to the path each has walked. It’s gratifying to find a new writer like Erin O’Rourke whose star should shine brighter than some of the names we see over and over today.”
