The portrait of my parents is a complicated one, but lovingly drawn.

Many women my age have known the experience of giving up crucial parts of themselves to please the man they love.

Those who rhapsodize about the ease and joy of childhood have perhaps forgotten what it's like to be 12 years old.

Women writers have been told, forever, that our stories were not valuable. Not as valuable as men's stories about wars, business, power.

I compromised my ability to tell my story, at the most basic level.

It troubles me that people speak about writing for money as ugly and distasteful.

Long after Salinger sent me away, I continued to believe his standards and expectations were the best ones.

I believe every one of us possesses a fundamental right to tell our own story.

I think of myself as a realistic writer, not a creator of soap opera or melodrama.
