"Wonderfully insightful and important exploration of one of our country's most essential artists..."

~Andre Dubus III

"We Take Care of Our Own is a great read, an important addition to the Springsteen canon, and a serious look at the historical context of Springsteen's work in both American literature and visual art."

~Mary Gauthier, author of Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting

“Sawyers covers a remarkable amount of ground in a compact space, which will make for a resonant book and a piece of cultural criticism that looks at Springsteen’s work through a series of lenses, some of them unexpected, to help us understand the American experience in a new light.”

~Jim Cullen, author of Born in the U.S.A.: Bruce Springsteen in American Life, 3rd edition, Revised and Expanded

“Sawyers maps some of the most important issues at stake in Bruce Springsteen’s music, especially his twenty-first century work. By drawing on recent interviews and writing, she brings a fresh perspective to his story.”

  ~Lauren Onkey, Professor of Music, George Washington University
