This post is part of a series on the blog where I share some of the nuggets of wisdom and inspiration — related to writing and/or life — that I find steeped in the pages of novels that I’ve read.

I’ve been revisiting some of my favorite books. One of those is Mama Day by Gloria Naylor.

This author’s words are lush and magical and I love how she intertwines the mystical with humor and lovely turns of phrases.

MamaDay
From Miranda aka Mama Day, one of the POV voices of the novel Mama Day by Gloria Naylor.

That’s all it’s about — can’t live without this, can’t live without that. You can live without anything you weren’t born with, and you can make it through on even half of that.
