“Natural writing forces exist in everyone, but the combinations or systems are unique to each writer. I envision writing forces working like an ocean tide. They rise and they fall; they cause chaos and calm. They might behave differently from one day to the next.”

Kate’s Quotes

“On the day the tree bloomed in the fall, when its white apple blossoms fell and covered the ground like snow, it was tradition for the Waverleys to gather in the garden like survivors of some great catastrophe, hugging one another, laughing as they touched faces and arms, making sure they were all okay, grateful to have gotten through it.”

“Some of Bay's fondest memories were of lying under the apple tree in the summer while Claire gardened and the apple tree tossed apples at her like a dog trying to coax its owner into playing catch.”
