Giving birth was the most amazing thing Ive ever done. Id been living in a Third World country, and I said, Im going to just squat behind a tree. I basically did that but in a chair in my living room. I didnt want a sterile hospital room. I didnt want doctors. I had a midwife. – Carolyn Murphy
I never thought Id make the pages of Sports Illustrated, because Ive always been skinny. – Carolyn Murphy

As an editor, I read Charlotte Rogans amazing debut novel, The Lifeboat, when it was still in manuscript. I read it in one night, and I really wanted my company to publish it, but we lost it to another house. Its such a wonderful combination of beautiful writing and suspenseful storytelling. – Karen Thompson Walker
