" - Alice Hoffman " You can try to take sorrow and make it into something enduring, meaningful and beautiful. I always feel guilty that this is my job, that I get to do this. " - Alice Hoffman " I think love is a huge factor in fiction and in real life. Is there a risk? Always. In fiction and in life. " - Alice Hoffman
