Quotes by Rita Bullwinkel (?)

“Even when your mother is asking you to do her a favor (be a good girl) it sounds like she is asking you to wear a coat made out of clear plastic. How do words get like that? thinks Rachel. How do words become so gross and synthetic?”

“But she is also just a child - just a girl waiting to see what her life will be like compared to the lives of the other people she knows.”
