“I think that having a book is such a wonderful thing these days. People write a book partially to explain themselves to themselves. We all get so close to our lives. We see the micro and not the macro. Writing a book, you kind of get reacquainted with yourself. The other part is you tell your story to people who can benefit from your life lesson so they don’t have to experience some of the angst that you might spare them if they read your story.” – Judy Katz
