NPR’s Mara Liasson called it “startling, self-aware, and wickedly funny,” and Professor Kathy G. Niknejad, MD, of Harvard Medical School said, "Her surprisingly entertaining memoir should be required reading for every medical student, resident, and physician – an ideal teaching tool."
Benedict’s 1985 novel, Slow Dancing, was a National Book Award Finalist. She has served on the fiction faculty of the New York State Summer Writers Institute since 1997.
