“Carrie had always said she and her mother weren’t particularly close, but when they’d moved into the house and Danielle had lifted as many boxes as the movers they’d hired, John had told Carrie that sometimes love wasn’t milk and cookies. Sometimes it was a strong back and a wrench.”

“But sooner or later, you need to get that writing out of your head. Yes, it seems beautiful up there, waiting. Full of possibilities. And the minute you take it out, and give it air, It feels more amateur, more false. But it’s not. It’s just more vulnerable. So commit those words to paper or screen. But don’t judge them in their downy newness. They are still figuring out how to breathe, still getting used to the world. You will teach them later. You will change them later. But for now, just let them out.”
