Books
Goldhagen has published one novel as of 2010:
- Family And Other Accidents (ISBN 0-385-51597-9)
Entertainment Weekly said the book "delicately mines the complexities of how loved ones seem close and far away -- often at the same time -- and how the smallest word uttered has the power to unravel or save. You embrace this book enthusiastically."
People Magazine called the book an "engrossing, beautifully written debut."
Richard Ford, in writing an endorsement on the dust jacket of Family and Other Accidents, wrote: "Ms. Goldhagen already, at a young age, is a fully self-possessed novelist, in command of large figurations, shrewed intelligence and wit, and a fine eye for the world and the American sentence."

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“In the world of letters, learning and knowledge are one, and books are the source of both; whereas in science, as in life, learning and knowledge are distinct, and the study of things, and not of books, is the source of the latter.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”
—Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)
“Unusual precocity in children, is usually the result of an unhealthy state of the brain; and, in such cases, medical men would now direct, that the wonderful child should be deprived of all books and study, and turned to play or work in the fresh air.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
