"Gut-painful and gut-funny, A Few Kinds of
Wrong takes us down a journey of loss, deception,
self-destruction and love. Chaulk writes deftly of the hilarity and
pathos of being human, of faults and failures, of suffering and
joy. Palpable characters and solid storytelling.
-Michelle Butler Hallett, author
of Double-blind and Sky
Waves
"I enjoyed A Few Kinds of Wrong, a book that engages
the reader in a subject rarely treated in modern fiction -- the
shattering, unreasoned grief of a daughter when her beloved father
dies. Tina Chaulk has a talent for getting inside the always quirky
and often perverse sensibility of her protagonist, a young woman
coming to terms with flawed memories, misunderstood relationships
and a reinterpretation of family history."
-Bernice Morgan, award-winning author of Cloud of
Bone and Random Passage
"It is good solid stuff with unexpected yet authentic twists, and
people you are interested in. A book like this is why people
read."
-Joan Sullivan, The Telegram
"There were times when I felt like giving Jennifer a shake. By the
time I closed the book, however, having witnessed Jennifer begin to
untangle herself from the shackles of her oh-so-human faults, my
emotions had changed. I'd grown fond of Jennifer, p'raps even begun
to love her a little, and not just because she could fix my
car.
-Harold Walters, The Southern Gazette
"One of Chaulk's strengths as a writer is her descriptive ability…
Another strength of Chaulk's is her ability to create realistic
characters… A Few Kinds of Wrong is funny,
poignant, and has a sense of desperation, a need to fix things,
that many of us feel at times in our lives."
-Sharon Hunt, The Chronicle Herald
"It's the story of a flawed but ultimately likable young woman.
It's simultaneously painful and funny to watch Jennifer cope with
her life. Funny because Chaulk has the gift of summarizing the
human condition in a few words words, and painful for the same
reason."
-Jean Graham, Northeast Avalon Times
"The plot plays out loud like a script, with most of the characters
coming to life through dialogue. A Few Kinds of
Wrong is gut wrenching and sarcastic, balanced with true
life."
-Gina Gill The Current
