What they were giving me seemed incredibly real to me, so I'd react to it in a very real way. That was frightening for me, especially because of the subject.

Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.

I thought my book was done, then we went to Hawaii and the whole last chapter happened.

I use nothing but homeopathic remedies, for my girls as well.
