“All the Things is a collage of memoiric musings, a collection of 77 short essays, each crafted with whim, wit, and wisdom. Midstokke, an obsessive long-distance runner as well as a strong and confident 40-something mother, slows down to the speed of solitude in midlife, to contemplate fleeting moments of awareness that arise from a myriad of daily dramas and personal traumas, moments often overlooked, moments ripe for reflection, moments which may illuminate a path to spiritual redemption. 'I am looking for my story, even as I write it,' writes Ammi Midstokke. And aren’t we all?" (Carl D. Barrentine, emeritus associate professor of humanities and integrated studies, University of North Dakota)

"This collection of essays is to be kept on hand for whenever you need to feel more normal, seen, or understood. Ammi's words come to life with amazing description, and while outrageous at times, these are very relatable stories. We all have our different versions of pushing limits and seeing what is possible. By sharing her wild rides, Ammi helps us see the light and the necessity in seeking more." (Krissy Moehl, champion trail runner, coach, race director, and author of Running Your First Ultra)

“Regardless of the situation, her brilliantly crafted and precise prose provokes a range of strong emotions. Read one Ammi Midstokke story, and you’re hooked.” (Marianne Love, author, blogger, freelance journalist)
