Suleika Jaouad

 Suleika Jaouad shares, “The whole time I was working on this book I had a post-it note above my desk with a quote that said: If you want to write a good book, write what you don’t want other people to know about you. If you want to write a great book, write what you don’t want to know about yourself. Those were my guiding words—I didn’t just want to write about this experience of illness and beginning again, I wanted to write toward the quieter moments and seek out the things that were lurking in the shadows, but to write with as much unvarnished honesty as I could.”
