“Claire Gibson writes a stellar trio of heroines — women I want to hug, women I want to befriend, women I want to be. An inspiring tribute to female friendship and female courage…” — Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network

“…a compassionate, engrossing portrayal of friendship and womanhood. This book reminds us that in our darkest hours, despite tensions and time, best friends show up, helping us find the light.” — Bryn Chancellor, author of Sycamore

“This is a story about the friendships that form us. That free us from who we thought we had to be, and help us find out who we really are. It’s book that will make you want to call your best friends, or be a better one.”— Nora McInerny, author of No Happy Endings

My first impressions of Los Angeles? Lots of blow-out salons, Lash extension places, and in the words of a new friend - lots of women that, from behind, look to be in their twenties until they turn and you realize oh dang that woman is probably seventy.

Six months until this book baby is born. 🤓❤️#beyondthepointbook
I have hesitated to share too many details of Sam’s adoption story on social media because I worry that he will want to keep some of his story private. But when @marieclairemag asked if I would write an essay on their series about parenting, I felt that it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. And by opportunity I mean… The opportunity to encourage even one birth mom to consider carrying her baby to term. Or the opportunity to encourage even one adoptive family to pursue a new dream. ❤️ Link in bio. #adoptionislove #adoptionjourney #americanadoptions #adoptionrocks #infertility #infertility #abortion #stopabortion #birthmotherlove #birthmothersupport #birthmotherawareness #adoptiveparents #adoptivefamilies @americanadoptions
I love you @billy_reid 😍 making my #camo dreams come true. #beyondthepointbook
“I’ll tell you what is convenient,” he said after a moment. “To sleep until noon and have someone bring you your breakfast on a tray. To cancel an appointment at the very last minute. To keep a carriage waiting at the door of one party, so that on a moments notice that can whisk you away to another. To sidestep marriage in your youth and put off having children altogether. These are the greatest of conveniences… And at one time, I had them all. But in the end, it has been the inconveniences that have mattered to me most.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #AGentlemaninMoscow is permanently in my TRIFECTA of favorite books. Count Rostov will forever be etched in my mind... a man who found joy in the midst of his prison. A man of intent who mastered his circumstances. May it be so with me! ❤️ Still waiting to hear back from @amortowles on the whole friendship thing. I’ll keep you posted!

A Tale of Two Covers. ❤️ The first is the cover that you will see in bookstores April 2, 2019. 📚 The second is the galley cover, which 100 lucky booksellers went home with today from #siba18, featuring original photography from @chriswpestel. 📚 I’m so excited and honored and grateful for the chance to be the person God chose to tell this story. ❤️ No matter what trench you’re in. Keep fighting.
This novel by @chloekbenjamin stuck with me! And the good news is that it’s coming out in paperback! If you could know the date you were going to die, would you want to know or not? My answer is a big fat NO THANKS. #fictionbooks #readersunite #tbrpile #theimmortalists #chloebenjamin #novelphoto #amwriting #amreading #bookstagram #bookclub
I lived at West Point on 9/11/01. I was fifteen years old, and old enough to know that this would change everything. 💔 How is it possible that I woke up this morning and didn’t remember? And then I remembered all over again. #september11 thank you @alisonfargis for the photo and for keeping the newspaper.
