Critics:

" For all who have yet to discover her, M.T. Dohaney is a literary treasure lying in wait."
     - Maxine Tynes, The Halifax Daily News

"In its rich emotional texture, The Corrigan Women belongs in a class with such works as Alistair MacLeod's Last Salt Gift of Blood."
     - New Maritimes

“M.T. Dohaney's When Things Get Back to Normal is a powerful book about the nature of grieving. There is something immeasurably supportive in the words of one who has suffered and then seen light, even if only a pinprick of light, at the end of the tunnel."
     - Catherine Gildiner, Chatelaine columnist
       and author of Too Close to the Falls.
