Adriana Trigiani quotes about
fancy fill jane mary matter reader require
I care what my reader thinks. There is no fancy recommendation you can give me that would matter to me as much as Mary Jane from Youngstown writing me a letter. There is not one. Don't need it, don't want it, don't require it, does not fill up my soul. It's about her, not about the rest of it.

mean thinking years

We hang out, we help one another, we tell one another our worst fears and biggest secrets, and then just like real sisters, we listen and don't judge.
book reading writing
I loved to read, still do, and it seemed that the writing was a result of the love of books and reading and libraries.
art spirit soar
Art makes the spirit soar. And when the spirit is lifted, life follows.
book people forever
If there is one thing I hope my books do always and forever, its that they honor working people.
boys use cameras
I don't use a crap camera, I don't eat junk, and I'm not going to a dance where the boys are bores
lessons good-things teach
The good things that happen to us were meant to happen, and the bad things that happen are lessons meant to teach us to be better.
