Book cover for Great Big Beautiful Life
There’s an old saying about stories, and how there are always three versions of them: yours, mine, and the truth. The guy who first said it worked in the film business, but it holds true for journalism too.

“If a kid has at least one person who they know is crazy about them, they usually turn out okay.”
― Marie Bostwick, The Restoration of Celia Fairchild

“Lean into joy: When the world seems to be falling apart, it can seem selfish or irresponsible to enjoy stuff. But joy is not frivolous—it’s fuel we need to continue fighting for a better world. Watch a funny show. Bake cookies. Befriend some raccoons and train them to fingerpaint. Remember that fascists hate joy and humor, and doing stuff fascists hate is always a good use of our time.”
― Vu Le

Marie Bostwick
“Sometimes the only thing that makes life bearable is not having to bear it alone.”
― Marie Bostwick, The Restoration of Celia Fairchild

Ann Patchett
“In joy we may wander off in our separate directions, but in sorrow we prefer to hold hands.”
― Ann Patchett, Tom Lake

Marie Bostwick
“If God wants you to be somewhere or do something, He'll supply everything you need at the moment you need it. And not one moment before. Never forget, Celia, God is in the business of Just In Time inventory.”
― Marie Bostwick, The Restoration of Celia Fairchild
