Dorothy Allison Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: b. April 11, 1949
Birthday: April 11
If I could have found what I needed at thirteen, I would not have lost so much of my life chasing vindication or death. Give some child, some thirteen-year old, the hope of the remade life. Tell the truth. Write the story that you were always afraid to tell. I swear to you there is magic in it.
