Jodi Picoult
You don't need water to feel like you're drowning, do you?
Jodi Picoult
The question I hate the most is How did you DO it - write novels and raise your children simultaneously! I mean, do MALE authors get asked that??
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
If you're afraid of everyone leaving you, what do you do? Make them stay. And if you can't do that, or don't know how to? Ellie shrugged. I don't know. Yes, you do. In fact, you've done it. You leave first, Coop said, so you don't have to watch them walk away.
Jodi Picoult
