In all honesty, at that time, I never saw myself as an author... I was just a Mom in a state of panic, trying to enter a short story contest to win the prize money in order to keep the lights on in my home.

  • -- Leslie Banks 莱斯利·班克斯

老实说，在那个时候，我从来没有把自己看作一个作家……我只是一个惊慌失措的妈妈，为了家里的灯还亮着，我试图参加一个短篇小说比赛来赢得奖金。
