"A candid, subtly profound collection."<i>-Kirkus</i> "Franklin's essays are just deep enough not to be trivial, just light-hearted enough not to be heavy, and readable enough not to be dull.  Highly recommended!"<i>-</i><i>Reading Glutton</i> "With humor and honesty, Franklin draws wisdom from a variety of experiences in his first collection of personal essays."<i><i>-</i>Library Journal</i> "As a title, <i>My Wife Wants You to Know I'm Happily Married</i> has the hollow ring of a bumper sticker or T-shirt. Luckily, the contents promise a much stronger, deeper resonance with thoughtful readers who may see themselves reflected in Franklin's often universally recognizable stories about childhood, children, growing up and adulthood."<i>-</i>Rob LeFebvre, <i>Shelf Awareness</i> "Franklin comes across as an affable and reflective person, and I have a hard time imagining that there are people out there who might not like this book."<i>-</i>William Bradley, <i>Brevity</i> "Much more than a collection of musings on marriage. It's an exploration between writer and reader, who themselves are forced to feel one another out, hopeful for a happily ever after."<i>-</i>Charlotte Kupsh, <i>Pleiades Book Review</i> “Compassionate, clear-headed, reliable, and funny. If a book could be the best man at my wedding, I’d choose this one.”-Dinty W. Moore, author of <i>Dear Mister Essay Writer Guy </i>
