One Book

They never forced anything down our throat. They led by example. I have a lot of memories of my Mom up at 2 A.M. with a copy of her cookbook and some ancient manuscripts and another copy of her cookbook marked up with black Sharpie, just covered in comments. I feel like I have some of that, always wanting to make things better, revise and revise, when I’m producing a song. Her books, he said, keep getting better and better. It’s like one book she’s been working on for twenty-five years.
