Laurie Halse Anderson

"Another page turns on the calendar, May now, not April. I am spinning the silk threads of my story, weaving the fabric of my world. I spin and weave and knit my words until a life starts to take shape. There is no magic cure, no making it all go away. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn't matter anymore. I am thawing."

Laurie Halse Anderson (Wintergirls)

"This is where you can find your soul if you dare. Where you can touch that part of you that you've never dared look at before. Do not come here and ask me to show you how to draw a face. Ask me to help you find the wind."

Laurie Halse Anderson (Speak)
