Praise for ​
​We'll Go to Coney Island:

The stories of Barbara Scheiber come from a special place. They are the work of a wisdom figure, a woman who understands from the inside out the beautiful imperfections of family life. Yet they are rendered with rare vision that sees everything as if the experiences were brand new.

  - Roy Peter Clark, Vice President and Senior 
Scholar at the Poynter Institute and author of 
The Glamour of Grammar and Writing Tools

We'll Go To Coney island is a rarity--a multi-generational story that is short and fast-moving. It's the story of a Jewish immigrant family in New York in the early 1900s, and its descendants. Scheiber writes a lean, muscular prose and tells the story in quick scenes, skipping deftly back and forth in time. It captures the joys and heartbreaks of family life in all its forms. An unexpected delight.

- Peter Carlson, Author of  Junius and Albert's 
Adventures in the Confederacy and K Blows Top

The writing in this book is a profoundly skillful meal
of poetic wisdom and vivid flavors. Ideals and hard,
breathtaking realities nourish the reader in an absorbing and thought-provoking story of bittersweet lives.

- Kate Horsley, Author of Confessions of 
a Pagan Nun and Black Elk in Paris
