‘All That I’m Asking’ Earns Five-Star Review

Ellen Halter’s debut novel, All That I’m Asking, received a five-star review from Readers’ Favorite. Congratulations!

“One unexpected moment can change everything. … The novel takes place in New York City during the late 1960s and opens as Alice Kaplan escapes an attempted sexual assault and finds out her dad died all in the same night. Her future seems uncertain as she’s left to face grief and financial insecurity after being fired. Being a woman in a male-dominated world only adds to her struggles. With no degree, it’s hard to find work as a journalist, but she manages to get a position writing for a feminist newspaper/magazine. During this time, she meets people who challenge her, support her, and help shape the person she is becoming. The writing was clear and made me feel everything that Alice went through. … No matter how many setbacks Alice faced, she never stopped imagining what could be.”
