Even more appealing than a diet of Dilly Bars, and Gilmore’s novel is a meal well worth the consumption. - BookPage
Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen is a delightful fast-paced read that is much more than a fun-filled quirky novel. Susan Gregg Gilmore deftly weaves a southern story with full-bodied characters, a rich multi-layered plot with a twist that will leave you breathless, and life lessons galore. Oh, and there are some wonderful characters that were introduced to that we hope to see again. My favorite is Gloria Jean. I hope to hear a great deal more from her in the future. -Andrea Sisco, Armchair Interviews
A simple story with a complex message - John Seigenthaler, A Word on Words, Nashville Public Television
Every female will find herself identifying with Catherine Grace’s search for her place in the world. - Chattanooga Times Free Press

‘Looking for Salvation’ a stellar literary debut…Like Lee Smith’s,(Gilmore’s) is an ear with nearly perfect pitch. (Gilmore) beautifully reproduces standard rural speech, especially Southern female speech at its cattiest and most hilarious. - Wilmington StarNews
Gilmore tells her tale with gentle humor and genuine regard for her characters. - Omaha World Herald
I LOVED it. Susan Gregg Gilmore reminds me more of Olive Burns (Cold Sassy Tree) than Fannie Flagg, though, and Cold Sassy is one of my long time favorites. -Ellen Ward, owner of Foxtale Bookstore
