My mother has always been a worker bee, but she's also a serious foodie.

When I was growing up, my mother worked, and in the evenings, the whole family would sit around the dinner table and recount the day.

From Isabel Gillies

I really think the human experience is very similar for everyone; we're all doing slightly different versions of the same thing.

From Isabel Gillies

When you have a traumatic event in your life, you change. You're not the same person you were, and you have to discover who you've become.

From Isabel Gillies

Sometimes it makes me sad that I didn't get to have one family for my entire life.

From Isabel Gillies

I had been living in Ohio in my own house with my own life when my marriage abruptly came to an end. I had nowhere to go with my two sons, very little money, and not much to do in Ohio except be someone's ex-wife. My parents instantly and very generously invited my family to move back home to New York, where I could begin again.
