Housewives of the 1950s were supposed to create show-stopping meals every night for their hard-working husbands.

My first husband was a serial cheater.

I am an indifferent cook but I can make pie.

I really want to go into the future 500 years and be a quantum physicist. Not only would I get to see all the incredible inventions I know will be out there, but I'd be able to understand the science behind them!

A haunting, harrowing punch to the heart, Among the Missing is flat-out brilliant. About the secrets we keep, the lives we are desperate to live, and the chances we miss, it's a psychological dazzler. Truly, one of my favorite books of this year-or any year.

When you love what you do, it stops seeming like work and instead becomes necessity.

Never be with anyone you couldn't imagine yourself being able to live without.
