Sue Monk Kidd Grew Quotations

I grew up in the American South and came of age in the 1960s, an incredibly turbulent time. It was as if the seams of American life were being ripped apart with riots and protests.

I grew up in Georgia, in a small town in the southwest corner of Georgia, actually, called Sylvester.

I actually grew up in a house in which bees lived in one of the walls, and they lived there 18 years, in fact, so it wasn't a fleeting thing.

From now on when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I planned to say, Amnesiac.
