“Really, Mrs. Simperson is smart and passionate and kind. But she’s also a love bead–wearing weirdo who talks about things like the patriarchy and always has crusty eye boogers and once said she wished she were a tree so she could pray all day.”
Katie Bickell, Always Brave, Sometimes Kind

“To him, the child seemed parasitic, growing larger and louder as circles darkened around Yasmin’s eyes, as though he siphoned youth as hungrily as he took formula from the bottle. When Rhanji looked at the baby all he saw was a wide-open mouth, insatiable hunger, and manipulating tears. Small limbs that kicked and struck, fists that fought for more comfort and attention than a young single woman could ever possibly give. His wails were those of an emergency siren, a warning of how badly things had gone wrong. In his presence, nothing was right.”
Katie Bickell, Always Brave, Sometimes Kind
