• ‟ I didn't know until high school that I was interested in writing in any real way. But there was this boy that I had a crush on, and I used to tell him all the time what I felt about him.

• ‟ Often, when people ask me what I read as a young girl, I lie. Or, I should say, I lie by omission.

• ‟ I teach a lot of graduate creative writing classes, and on the first day, I like to go around the room and ask everybody what's the last book you've read that you really loved.

• ‟ My mom is a translator for the school district in Delaware. She'd hear these different stories from working with families there. Those stories stuck with me.
