Book cover for Good Material
Frank Sinatra’s voice, the sound of every December. The kind of voice that lets you believe in an alternate world of luxury and elegance and romance and string orchestras.

“Guilt is a commando who arrives in stealth and then sabotages everything.”
Scott Turow, Innocent

Lolly Winston
“Instead, they’d smile and speak softly, as though I were going to be all right, as though I weren’t wearing one navy and one black loafer. As though I weren’t driving down the street with my purse on the roof of the car or leaving the oven on preheat all night.”
Lolly Winston, Good Grief

“The point was never that you adjusted everything around you until it was made perfect, but that you adjusted the way you see everything until you realize that it is enough, and it always has been.”
Brianna Wiest, When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal

“Relationships are not safeguards against loneliness. You can’t whittle yourself down to being as nice and accepting and likable as possible in order to ensure that as many people as possible won’t leave you. Relationships come and go; that is what they are designed to do.”
Brianna Wiest, When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal

“You will have to build a home no matter where you are. You will have to decorate and settle and reach out. You will have to find rhythms and routines. You will have to be vulnerable, and you will have to be seen.
 
There is nowhere we can turn to that is an escape from ourselves.”
Brianna Wiest, When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal
