While I was writing the book I called my husband at work to ask him something fairly important. He is a complete workaholic and was up to his eyelashes in something there as usual, so he said to hold on. "I'm just going to stick you in my pocket for a second," he told me, and then I heard the rustling sounds of the phone against the inside of his pocket. I hung up and said to myself, "I am nothing but a pocket wife!" And then I thought. Wait! I like that! (less)

Sometimes it's an actual thing, like an abandoned car in a field off a highway in the middle of nowhere, or sometimes it's what is not visible, what's left unsaid in a conversation, the things we don't really present to the world - the little mysteries.

Special Deliveries

We didn’t get the AJC this morning, or, really the past few, but they were mornings strung together like little beads of Christmas chaos– house guests, present-wrapping, cooking, etc., so I barely noticed until today. We still had the paper delivered because I like to do the crossword every morning and typing letters into a computer grid isn’t the same as sitting with a cup of tea and an English M

Quotes by Susan H. Crawford  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Lately she can read a novel in two hours. She has always been an avid reader, but these days she can read much faster. The colors, the conversations, everything is much more vibrant and inclusive, as if opening a book releases genies trapped inside. The scenes and people between their covers sometimes seem more vivid than real life, with their sunny, pearl-toothed characters, the witty conversation, the handsome stranger squeezed into a subway car or knocking about on the street. Sometimes, when she finishes a book at record speed, Dana feels a slight letdown, as if a good friend has hung up the phone in the middle of a conversation.”
Susan H. Crawford, The Pocket Wife

“is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whisper. No, she thinks, it wasn’t whisper; it was something else.”
Susan H. Crawford, The Pocket Wife

“Lenora isn’t wearing the sexy lace”
Susan H. Crawford, The Pocket Wife

“The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.”
Lorraine Hansberry

“That's the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”
Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake

“Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.”
Pablo Neruda

“I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.”
Neil Gaiman

“Love the world and yourself in it, move through it as though it offers no resistance, as though the world is your natural element.”
Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife
