Cate asked Frances Mayes:

After reading Under The Tuscan Sun and getting a divorce, I moved to an island and am now a writer.. Thank You. Life is too short not to take a leap of faith.

Frances Mayes You are right, my friend!

I really enjoyed your new memoir. I was wondering, do you find it difficult to write about your past in so much detail? People are always saying to write what you know, but it seems it would be a challenge to delve into the less beautiful parts of our pasts and put it out there for the world to know without any fictionalization.
