Anna-Marie McLemore answered Judy Hilkert's question: Ms. McLemore: I recently read Wild Beauty. I am a college librarian in Mississippi. As a result of reading your book, I ordered all three of your novels for the library and have recommended them to others as well. Specifically, I have recommended Wild Beauty book to the English Department. I am seriously impressed with this book. Can you tell me a little about your academic background? Thank you so much.

Quotes by Anna-Marie McLemore

“Even in its first faint traces, love could alter a landscape. It wrote unimagined stories and made the most beautiful, forbidding places.”
― Anna-Marie McLemore, Wild Beauty

“This is was what their mothers would say if she and her cousins ever told them the things they folded inside their hearts. Twice as many paths to trouble, their mothers would whisper. As though their daughters loving both men and women meant they wanted all of them in the world. There was no way to tell their mothers the truth and make them believe it, that hearts that loved both boys and girls were no more reckless or easily won than any other heart. They loved who they loved. They broke how they broke. And the way it happened depended less on what was under their lovers' clothes and more on what was wrapped inside their spirits.”
