Anna’s Quotes

“Brothers and sisters are especially loath to admit their true feelings. Theirs is the most cryptic of all bonds. Sisters talk things out. Brothers fight them out, but a brother and a sister can only know and it is the knowing that reinforces the connection.”
― Anna Bruno, Fine Young People: A Novel
