They were written on cheap blue notebooks bought by poor women. I'm interested in folk tales in the way that medicine and magic in women's stories are all kind of combined.

The adults don't know what's happening on the kids' universe and the kids don't know what's happening on the adults' universe.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
