"Inventive and effortlessly full of life! I loved this fresh story full of relatable characters--and one brilliant new take on the stalwart golem--who together prove that even when life is at its messiest, it's possible to manifest survival, healing and love." --Deb Rogers, author of Indie Next Pick and Strangelings Book Club Pick Florida Woman

"An immensely enjoyable story of an imperfect heroine who finds a way through her grief and resentment with the help of an eager-to-please golem. Wry and absorbing and hopeful and just the right amount of grumpy." --Holly Gramazio, author of The Husbands, a Read with Jenna Pick

"Full of dark humorous twists where a woman accidentally makes a golem and then tries to bring him as her plus one to a wedding. Beautifully written, it's an emotional journey, full of hope and healing!"
--Adriana Mather, author of #1 New York Times bestseller How to Hang a Witch and Mom Com

"Beth Kander's I Made It Out of Clay is at turns laugh-out-loud funny, gut-punchingly profound, and inexpressibly tender. All through the very entertaining device of the golem, a kind of 'ultimate protector' (and yes, now I kind of want a golem of my own), Kander's book gets at the unique pain--and importance--of opening your heart, even when it's broken, and even when it will break again. An examination of grief like no other I've read, Kander's book is not only incredibly relevant to the times we live in, but to anyone who has walked through loss. An absolute must-read." --Jenna Satterthwaite, author of Made for You
