Quotes by Sara Flannery Murphy (?)

“I'm overwhelmed by the thought of all the women who would pour out of me if I were cracked open: swarming like insects, bubbling up out of my mouth. The women who have collected inside me over the years, filling up my insides until there's no room left for me.”
― Sara Flannery Murphy, The Possessions

“Do you know,” Tom said, “when a forest grows back after a fire, sometimes it’s not even the same forest? Different trees grow faster because the soil’s been changed by the fire. So really, you might be looking at a whole new forest now.”
― Sara Flannery Murphy, Girl One
