James Howe Book Quotations

We were dealing with the emergencies of pain control, all her treatment, ... I was working a full-time job, having to show up for that every day. Writing the book was relief for us.

I never thought I could write this much and now that it's coming to an end, I feel sad that I have to stop, sort of the way you feel at the end of a really good book and you know you're going to miss the main character.
