Book cover for The One Day You Were My Husband
One of the many things I’d learned in my career was that no matter the scale of rupture our bodies suffer, they are united by a penetrating and intrinsic desire to repair.

Ed Lynskey
“From Chapter 1:

Isabel went into the kitchen. Their butterball of a beagle wagged his tail and peered up at her with his soulful brown eyes. He was eager to get his reward for looking cute as a button, and he knew she was a pushover.”
Ed Lynskey, To Dye For

William W. Purkey
“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
William W. Purkey

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Dorothea Benton Frank
“I have always thought that librarians are a little bit like doctors, travel agents and professors all rolled into one. We all know that a great story can lift spirits, take you anywhere in the world you want to go and in any time period to boot, and the lessons you learn from a good book can buoy your own convictions and even change your life. ”
Dorothea Benton Frank

Joseph Conrad
“Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade since it consists principally of dealings with men.”
Joseph Conrad, Chance
