The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields

Ordinary Lives as Extraordinary!

“Things begin, things end. There is no middle, only the edge.”

“A life is full of isolated moments of joy, disappointment, grief, and wonder that only take on meaning when strung together as a narrative.”

“Everyone is the hero of their own life story, but it takes someone else to write it down.”
