Her essays and articles have been published in a wide range of publications, including The New York Times Magazine, O, Salon, Real Simple, More, The Utne Reader, and The Baltimore Sun. Her commentaries for "All Things Considered" are collected on NPR's website. Winik’s other books include "Telling," New York Times Notable Book "First Comes Love," Child magazine’s Best Parenting Book of the Year "The Lunch-Box Chronicles," "Rules for the Unruly," "Above Us Only Sky," and "The Glen Rock Book of the Dead," one of More magazine’s Ten Best Books of 2008.
