Joyce Maynard has been writing for over 45 years about the kind of human experiences we're often taught to keep hidden - stories about envy, anger, vanity, self-pity, pride.
We read her stories because they offer a chance to first confront and then forgive ourselves for how those emotions can shape us into people we don't like.
