Book cover for The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride
But this here’s something I’ve learned in my life—what’s right and what’s legal aren’t always the same thing. And when put to it, a man ought to do what’s right. The law be damned.

Rebecca Serle
“this stage all I’ve got is words. There are no more tits, no waist. I’d put on makeup if I could still locate my eyelids. Getting old it not for the faint of heart, and anyone who tells you differently is thirty-fucking-five.”
Rebecca Serle, Once and Again

Stephanie Dray
“think it would be better if women served on juries so the partiality of human nature did not always go one way—against the woman.”
Stephanie Dray, A Founding Mother

“That makes it worth it. We all want to be thought righteous, but to do right is the Lord’s command.”
Stephanie Dray, A Founding Mother

Stephanie Dray
“John Adams was an utter misanthrope, or so I liked to tease, but he had a more tender heart than anyone else knew. And once I discovered that tender heart, I claimed it—and gave him mine in return.”
Stephanie Dray, A Founding Mother

Caro Claire Burke
“far, if you do it with intention. Look at Mary Magdalene. Now there is a woman who understood the assignment. When I think about the most recent seasons of my favorite dating shows—how even the more upscale, family-friendly shows have started forcing the girls to give confessionals while groggy with sleep deprivation and cross-eyed from a steady gargling of mimosas for the better part of a day—I feel a strange, numbing sense of relief. America hates women. What a comfort to remember.”
Caro Claire Burke, Yesteryear
