From the Toronto Star:
"Journey to the Darkside is the rare exception to the rule of supposedly funny mommy memoirs (the rule being that people should stop publishing them). Buckworth is perceptive, smart and absolutely hilarious."

Listen to my interview with 102.9K-Lite for all things BlackBerry Diaries.
From The Ottawa Citizen (on BlackBerry Diaries):Buckworth's appealing brand of humour lies in her rapid-fire, colourful and self-effacing examination of what it means to be a "Modern Mom," a woman very much plugged into the world outside her children, who retains her sense of self, as well as her ambitions and dreams.
