“Worthy is a clearly written memoir, well organized across sixteen precise and thought-provoking chapters. Women readers familiar with the juggling act demanded by the roles of wife, mother, daughter, sister, teacher, and student will appreciate Turner’s efforts to recognize these tricky maneuvers while leaving room to value oneself.”—Amanda Silva, Foreword Reviews

“Turner is a lovely writer. For those deeply interested in the individual psyche, in non-stereotypical Mormon family dynamics, and in intelligent, feeling writing about life circumstances and their far-reaching effects, this is a very fine work.”—Julie J. Nichols, The Association of Mormon Letters

“The first six words of Worthy kept me turning pages: “My mother’s heart weighed 370 grams.” I applaud Turner as she bravely approaches the grim subject of her mother’s mysterious death and her abiltiy to walk away from family pain, and a religion that caused her so much conflict during her life. The result of her effort is a thoroughly enjoyable read.”—Story Circle Book Reviews
