Media Reviews
Based on events from her own life, Waiting to Surface is a gripping story that begins when a husband vanishes mysteriously.
-- Parade
Heartrending...
-- People
In this compulsively readable novel, Listfield creates a compelling portrait of grief and resilience. This is a story that will stay with you. -- Lisa Tucker, author of Once Upon a Day and The Song Reader
Emily Listfield has written a suspenseful and poignant novel that beautifully captures the complexity of a marriage and the troubling uncertainties of life. Waiting to Surface haunted me long after I read its last page. -- Leslie Schnur, author of Late Night Talking and The Dog Walker
Heartbreaking...In muted prose, Listfield movingly takes us through Sarah's day-to-day grief, coupled with her hard-headed determination to figure out what happened to Todd. She juggles her sense of loss, her job and raising a daughter who blames her for her missing dad with the antics of her younger colleagues and her own investigation into her husband's fate.

-- USA Today


Listfield spins a tale of supreme loss into one of gutsy, grace-filled redemption.

-- Elle


A well thought out story about wife-husband relationships, mother-daughter relationships...and perhaps most of all -- living with uncertainty.

-- St. Petersburg Times


Listfield deftly balances multiple plots.
