envy seems naive
The woman I was seems hopelessly naive. I envy her.
psychiatrist ifs
If I weren't a writer, I'd be a psychiatrist.
damage-is-done often-is violence
The worst violence we can do to each other often is psychological, especially in families. I dwell a lot on domestic danger. Thats the backdrop of most of my novels - what kind of damage is done without ever lifting a finger.
today finest crime
Alafair Burke is one of the finest young crime writers working today.
accepting
Love accepts. Forgiveness comes in time.
philosophy giving forever
Others of us are lost. We're forever seeking. We torture ourselves with philosophies and ache to see the world. We question everything, even our own existence. We ask a lifetime of questions and are never satisfied with the answers because we don't recognize anyone as an authority to give them. We see life and the world as an enormous puzzle that we might never understand, that our questions might go unanswered until the day we die, almost never occurs to us. And when it does, it fills us with dread.

Motherhood was an ever widening circle of good-byes.
skins together body
I loved him so much. It didn't change all the reasons we couldn't be together, but it kept me returning to his body, kept my skin seeking his skin over and over again in the sad dance we did.

single-mom judging analyzing
I didn’t see the point of judging and analyzing a single moment in someone’s life.
party sleep home
And we stood like that. The joining of hands is highly underrated in the acts of intimacy. You kiss acquaintances or colleagues, casually to say hello or good-bye. You might even kiss a close friend chastely on the lips. You might quickly hug anyone you knew. You might even meet someone at a party, take him home and sleep with him, never to see him or hear from him again. But to join hands and stand holding each other that way, with the electricity of possibilities flowing between you? The tenderness of it, the promise of it, is only something you share with a few people in your life.
good-life dark past
There's nothing particularly dark in my past... I live in the light. My disposition is basically happy. I have a good life.
powerful prayer math
Hope is good. Without it, well, you do the math. But hope has to be like a prayer. Putting it out there to something more powerful than yourself.
drama bored people
Bored people looked for drama and caused trouble.
