My first published book, Story of a Girl, was the fourth book I wrote.
Sara Zarr
I'm still going to love you, always. And in the rock-paper-scissors of life, love is rock. fear, anger, everthing else...no contest.

It makes me think of Lazarus. He must have had those shadows after his miracle. You don't spend time in the tomb without it changing you, and everyone who was waiting for you to come out.

This was a memory I wanted to keep, whole, and recall again and again. When I was fifty years old I wanted to remember this moment on the porch, holding hands with Cameron while he shared himself with me.

Sara Zarr
the mark we've left on each other is the color and shape of love. That's the unfinished business between us. because love, love is never finished.
Sara Zarr
Everyone has an identity crisis when they are 16 or 17 years old.
Sara Zarr
What brings two people together anyway?
Sara Zarr
Sometimes you want to hear your own mother's voice.
Sara Zarr
When the remembering was done, the forgetting could begin.
Sara Zarr
It's hard to say when my interest in writing began, or how. My mother read to my sister and me every night, and we always loved playing make-believe games. I had a well-primed imagination. I didn't start thinking about writing as a serious pursuit, a career I could have, until after college.
Sara Zarr
I played the clarinet, and my sister played the violin... If wed had the discipline and the passion, maybe we could have been good.
Sara Zarr
It's like a Venn diagram of tragedy.
Sara Zarr
The one thing that could never die or be buried was my loyalty to Cameron for everything he’d done for me and what we’d been through together, even if that loyalty was a ghost.
