Kate Morton
I simply love writing good stories, that's my passion.
Kate Morton
Even the most pragmatic person fell victim at times to a longing for something other.

The certainty that she would find what it was she sought just slipped away, until one night she knew there was nothing, no one waiting for her. That no matter how far she walked, how carefully she searched, how much she wanted to find the person she was looking for, she was alone - The Forgotten Garden
Kate Morton
I love the structural part of the writing process.
Kate Morton

Kate Morton
But in my humble opinion, a house needs a good party once in a while remind folks it exists.
Kate Morton
A girl expecting rescue never learns to save herself. Even with the means, she will find her courage wanting.
Kate Morton
Mother didn't understand that children aren't frightened by stories that their lives are full of far more frightening things than those contained in fairy tales.
Kate Morton
It is a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future moments that should have been allowed to be evaporate into the past should exist only in memories, glimpsed through the fog of events that came after. Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down.
Kate Morton
Those who live in memories are never really dead. The House At Riverton
