Praise for this book
"LIKE A SONG presents six essays by Michelle Herman, each connected through music and ranging from community choruses and musical theater to the science of singing, as well as subjects Michelle is well-known for: friendship, family and home. "A collection of six quietly transgressive essays about music that ultimately asks, Why speak when you can sing?" - O: The Oprah Magazine
"Herman is known for her wit, lyricism, and sharp insight. Like a Song proves to be yet another demonstration of these qualities." - Roya Biggie, Literary Mama
