"Devens writes with exquisite insight about the bonds that connect women together, and her gift for creating richly nuanced characters will have fans of Patricia Gaffney, Luanne Rice, and Mary Alice Monroe sighing happily with satisfaction. Pair this with the author’s ability to vividly evoke the special summertime magic of the seashore in Maryland, and you have the perfect beach read for the long, hot days of summer."
--John Charles, Reader to Reader review of Barefoot Beach
Booklist called Toby Devens' writing "Humorous and heartwarming."
Wendy Wax said, "Warm, witty and wonderful."
People magazine called her work "Beguiling."
Toby Devens is an author of mainstream women's fiction (men enjoy her novels, too). Her latest "Barefoot Beach" and the previous "Happy Any Day Now," were published by Penguin Random House. Both were both chosen as New American Library Accent books. NAL Accent showcases "today's freshest new talents" and includes Conversation Guides and Book Club Questions.
Her award winning debut novel, "My Favorite Midlife Crisis (Yet)"—Sourcebooks Landmark—was called "wickedly funny" and "a delicious concoction." And her book of humorous and poignant prayer-poems, "Mercy, Lord! My Husband's in the Kitchen"—Doubleday; Harper Collins—was hailed by the West Coast Review of Books as "Funny, bright...The highest praise can't do justice."
Toby has been an editor, public information specialist, and author of articles and short fiction for national magazines. She has lectured worldwide about writing and women’s issue and has lead writing workshops.
