About this author

The Way Life Should Be is about the search for the right relationship and

the right life, the difficulty of finding true love, and the yearning for home that food represents. Laced with recipes and humor, wisdom and wit, it is at once a clear-eyed portrait of Maine, a compassionate look at modern life and love, and a compelling work of literary fiction that explores the gulf between the way life is and the way we want it to be.

“It's human nature to want to think the best of others, but if you listen carefully, people will always tell you who they are. ”
Christina Baker Kline, Bird in Hand: A Novel

“When something terrible happens, a lifetime of small events and unremarkable decisions, of unresolved anger, and unexplored fears begins to play itself out in ways you least expect. You've been going along from one day to the next, not realizing that all those disparate words and gestures were adding up to something, a conclusion, you didn't anticipate. And later, when you begin to retrace your steps you see that you will need to reach back further than you could have imagined, beyond words and thoughts and even dreams, perhaps to make sense of what happened.”
Christina Baker Kline

“Every decision I make is determined solely by the spark and limitations of my own perspective”
Christina Baker Kline, The Way Life Should Be
