I Need To Remember To Overcome.

Barrabas Came To Us By Sea, The Child Clara Wrote In Her Delicate Calligraphy.

A Memoir Forces Me To Stop And Remember Carefully. It Is An Exercise In Truth. In A Memoir, I Look At Myself, My Life, And The People I Love The Most In The Mirror Of The Blank Screen. In A Memoir, Feelings Are More Important Than Facts, And To Write Honestly, I Have To Confront My Demons.

My Writing Comes Not From The Happy Moments, But From Struggle And Grief.

Writing Is A Calling, Not A Choice.

A Book Is Not An End In Itself; It Is Only A Way To Touch Someone - A Bridge Extended Across A Space Of Loneliness And Obscurity - And Sometimes It Is A Way Of Winning Other People To Our Causes.
