Some of her quotes are given here to have a glimpse of her writing style..

You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.
You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.
If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?
If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?
There's that unwritten schism that literary writers get all the awards and commercials writers get all the success.
I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.
Many of my books come from what if questions that I can't answer, things that I'm worried about as either a woman, a wife, a mom, an American. }
