The sea, the sea, the sea. It rolled and rolled and called to me. Come in, it said, come in.
Sharon CreechI cannot just write a frivolous book, a la-di-da book. Everything isn't la-di-da. There is something that's going to pull you up short. I want to reassure young readers. I want to comfort them, to not fear the unexpected.
Sharon CreechBeing a mother is like trying to hold a wolf by the ears,โ Gram said. โIf you have three or four โor more โ chickabiddies, youโre dancing on a hot griddle all the time. You donโt have time to think about anything else. And if youโve only got one or two, itโs almost harder. You have room left over โ empty spaces that you think youโve got to fill up.
